Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 1:30 a.m. in "The City" where the current temperature is 64° and it feels like 64° with a wind out of the north @ 5 mph under clear skies.

The sun will rise this morning@ 6:36 a.m. and set this evening @ 9:04 p.m.

We still have those two alerts in effect until 5:00 a.m. today, a Beach Hazard Statement and a Small Craft Advisory. 

Baseball news yesterday was mostly bad, as my beloved Red Sox fell to the Rays, the Cubs fell to the Nats, and the Caps fell to the Loons. The only bright spot was the 6 - 2 win by the Tigers over the Orioles. 

All of the teams are off until Tuesday night, when the Cubs travel to Colorado to meet the Rockies, the Sox travel to Detroit to meet the Tigers, the Tigers are home to meet the Red Sox, and the Caps will be home to face the Dayton Dragons.

I got up early this morning with the intent to see the 2021 Cruise In Car Show that was supposed to be held in the parking lot of the Ottawa County Courthouse, but which was moved at the last minute to most of Washington Ave. in downtown GH. At any rate, I took a number of pictures to commemorate the return of the show, punctuated by the playing of music from the 1950s and 1960s. My son believes, and I have to agree, that it is time for the DJ to get into late 20th or even the 21st centuries.

Without further ado, here are some of the pix from my excursion yesterday morning. 

No wasted under-hood space in this Jeep.

A nice Ford Econoline Pickup.

An actual Morris Mini decked out for rally racing,

A circa 1950s Jeep.

A race equipped Jeep Wagoneer, complete with a roll cage.

Why not a Corgi at the show?

Circa 1948 Willys Jeep.

Ready to race!

Ready to rest!

A beach cruiser?

Mary took time to cook those collard greens we harvested on Friday and when she was done they were great with our vegan Italian cheese burgers with homegrown tomatoes for dinner.

I spent a lot of time reading before and after we walked with the fur-children to the library for a pick up. We had to wait until the pedestrian/dog traffic from the car show and the Flea on Seventh had cleared. Otherwise, I finished another crossword puzzle and colored in that sketch I'd made the other day of Mary's living room flower arrangement. All in all, a very productive and enjoyable day.

Today, watering is probably on tap, more reading, and more crafting by Mary. In short, it should be a good day to be retired. Ciao.
