Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 6:00 a.m. in "The City", where the current temperature is a very brisk 57° under clear skies. It feels like 56° with a wind out of the east @ 2 mph. The sun will rise today @ 7:10 a.m. and set later @  8:17 p.m. Our overnight low is expected to be 56°. Today's high-temperature will be a very seasonal 76° under skies that will vary between sunny and partly-cloudy. Our next chance for rain will be Saturday with showers in the evening @ 50%.

Yesterday was a four for four day in baseball, as the Cubs, the Red Sox, the Tigers, and the Caps all won their respective games, 3 - 0, 3 - 2, 8 - 6, and 8 - 2. Today's/tonight's games will begin at 8:05 p.m. EDT, 7:10 p.m. EDT, 1:10 p.m. EDT, and 7:05 p.m. EDT, as Keegan Thompson, Eduardo Rodrigues, Matt Manning, and someone unknown will be pitching for the Caps and for each MLB team respectively. Miggy got his 502nd home run for the Tigers last night. 

Yesterday, we had a nice brunch of vegan Italian burgers with salad. Later, our anniversary dinner was a stir-fry that included freshly diced ginger root, freshly minced garlic, green beans, garden fresh scallions, accompanied by braised tofu, sliced water chestnuts, bean sprouts, and baby-corns from the can with a touch of molasses and tamari, ala Jack. All of that was served over rice and chow-mein noodles. Not Don Luis, but a nice anniversary dinner.

Today, we have nothing planned. No road trips, no activities other than crossword solving and watering of the new plantings, We are letting the older plants in the vast gardens die-back as it is their time. I don't much like that part of the fall. But, I get to look forward to Thanksgiving, and the other winter holidays and then the rebirth of our gardens in the spring. Ciao.
