Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 9:00 p.m. in "The City."

We have a current temperature here in the Tri-Cities of 40° under mostly-cloudy skies. West winds blowing @ 15 mph make it feel like 32°. 

Those winds are part of the Small Craft Advisory that is in effect until 4:00 p.m. tomorrow. Waves from four to seven feet on Lake Michigan are being propelled by off-shore winds of 20 to 30 knots, that will diminish tomorrow to 15 to 25 knots. 

The NWS in GR is reporting a barometric pressure of 29.98" and falling, while my DTWS shows 29.38" and rising.

Most of the day tomorrow will be under partly-cloudy skies with a high temperature of 41° and an overnight low of 31°

The sun will rise tomorrow @ 7:59 a.m. and set later @ 5:10 p.m. 

As promised, I took some pix of our 2020 Christmas decorations. 

Using the flash to fill in in low light.

No flash, but more colorful.

Our Christmas Trolley generously donated by our children.

Mary's arrangement using the flash.

We were mostly successful with Ginger's grooming today. She looks better, but I got her cut a wee bit short in a couple of areas. I also bathed her. That means that she has lost her distinctive aroma. She and STWD each got a treat afterwards. 

I finished two crossword puzzles today. I also gave up on that novel I was reading, as like many others, I am too old to waste my valuable time on a book that I am not enjoying.

Mary used her time to make another tofu loaf. The previous loaf was better the day after, so today's loaf waits in the refrigerator in preparation for tomorrow's meals. Tonight's dinner was bean burritos ala Mary. Refried beans, chopped onions, and Taco Bell™ mild sauce filled the last of our tortillas. I topped mine with a perfect sauce, Cholula. 

Tomorrow, I plan to finish my man-cave Christmas creations with some help from Mary. I will try to read more and play more music too. Ciao.
