Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 10:30 p.m. in "The City."

We have a current temperature of 68°, that feels like 68° with a slight wind out of the north @ 5 mph. It was very windy earlier today, but that passed as the day wore on. The high temperature today reached the mid 70° range. Tonight's low temperature will be 49° and we will only recover slightly from there and see 52° for tomorrow's high. 

In addition, the NWS is predicting showers off and on overnight and into tomorrow morning. However, those showers should be over by around 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. We have no advisories, watches, nor warnings in effect at this time. The sun will rise tomorrow @ 6:43 a.m. and set later @ 8:41 p.m.

I listened to the10 - 13 Cubs lose yet another game to the 11- 12 Braves 0 - 5, as Javier Baez and Kris Bryant were out of the lineup. It is a strong possibility that Baez may land on the IL with a leg injury, but Bryant is unlikely to do so. The only bright spot, sort of, is that Cubs' starter Trevor Williams brought the heat and struck out eight. However, he took the loss to drop to 2 - 2 as the Cubs finished the game by losing 0 - 5.

Tomorrow night's game against the Braves is scheduled to begin @ 7:20 p.m. EDT when RHP Kyle Hendricks, 1 - 2, takes the mound for the Cubs. 

The 7 - 16 Tigers defeated that 12 - 9 other team from Chicago. 5 - 2, with RHP Jose Urena, 1 - 3, getting his first 2021 win. One of many bright spots, Miggy got his first home run this season and he was ably assisted by utility player Niko Goodrum and 2nd baseman, Jonathan Schoop, who both went yard. Miggy's power seems to be returning. Tomorrow night's game begins @ 8:10 p.m. when RHP Casey Mize, 1 - 2, takes the ball.

My beloved 15 - 9 Red Sox got the win for RHP Garrett Richards, 1 - 2, winning the game over the 9 - 9 Mets, 2 - 1. Tomorrow night's game begins @ 6:40 p.m. when RHP Nick Pivetta. 2 - 0  goes for the beloved.

We made it to Muskegon earlier for my orthopedist's appointment and everything went fine. I should be good to go for several more months. But, as the doctor told me, there is no cure for arthritis. Sigh.

I was emailing back and forth with Adam earlier and he sent me a picture that is very interesting. The picture showed a 1941 Chicago, North Shore Electroliner sitting next to an International Harvester pickup truck, probably from the 1930s. The Electroliner was first built in 1941 and they were in service until 1978 in several cities in the US. According to information on found on the internet, the Electroliners were used for interurban transit and could purportedly reach top speeds of 110 mph! He asked what were the odds? I suggested that he buy a lottery ticket.


Elsewhere today, we finished the indoor chores before we went to Muskegon and I read more of  my latest novel, Mother, My I, by Josilyn Jackson. I wasn't sure at first, but I am liking it now. 

Tomorrow, I hope to play more music, do more painting, work a crossword puzzle or two, and stay dry. Ciao.
