Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation, and across the world. It is just before 1:00 a.m. in "The City."

The sun will rise this morning @ 6:05 a.m. and set later @ 9:27 p.m. Once again, the same as yesterday.

According to the NWS, the current outdoor temperature is 65° under clear skies, while my DTWS shows 68º on both the front porch and the deck. Also according to the NWS, winds of 1 mph make it feel like 65°.
  .   
The NWS calls for today's high to be 78º under sunny skies. Currently, no rain is falling and there is only a 5% chance of rain today. The overnight low tonight is forecast to be 59º.


The NWS has issued an Air Quality Alert for Van Buren, Allegan, Ottawa, Kent, Muskegon, Oceana, and Mason counties. People are urged to refrain from topping off gasoline tanks and/or other outdoor activities that may add to poor air quality conditions.

My DTWS shows a falling barometric pressure of 29.51". The NWS is reporting 30.08". Generally, those readings, indicate changeable weather ahead. However, there is no significant rain event on the horizon until Sunda's 60%. I watered yesterday and it looks like I"ll be watering again tomorrow.

We had the visit from the A/C estimator yesterday. We are awaiting the final cost estimate as well as whether the current furnace can be adapted to the newer A/C system. If not, Katie bar the door. Oh well, the system is over 20 years of age.

Otherwise, I made more vegan Italian meatballs which when combined with Mary's slow-simmered pasta sauce over spaghetti noodles, made for an excellent dinner.

Otherwise, not much happened yesterday. We combined some indoor chores and that was about the extent of our activities. We both did a lot of reading. Today should be the same as we await the estimate from the A/C estimator. Ciao.
