Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 12:30 a.m. in "The City", where the current temperature being displayed on my DTWS is 65° that according to the NWS feels like 63° with a wind out of the west @ nine mph. A quick glance out the WW shows that the the skies are cloudy and dark. We have no watches, advisories, alerts, nor warnings in effect as of now. The overnight low-temperature, per the NWS, will be 60°. the sun will rise today @ 7:55 a.m. and set later @ 7:06 p.m.

We had a busy day of reading and indoor chores yesterday, but as the day wore on, Mary and Ginger took a walk to the Third St. bridge where they took a pic with our Smart Phone camera of the channel.

A great pic with the clouds, the trees, and the water contrasting nicely.

While they were out, I took STWD for a short walk. Sugar nor I are as young as we used to be, but Ginger is keeping Mary young as Ginger can walk for many miles most days. 

Once we were all home, Mary and I went out for a photo-op to the Grand Haven State Park campground and Lake Forest Cemetery. It was drizzling a bit, so my camera and I stayed in the car for our shooting. However, I still got in some good shots as Mary positioned our Jeep for the best angles.

We felt like we had dropped into a Grateful Dead concert.

By way of comparison. this tiny trailer was parked nearby as the waves crashed on the shore behind.

Since the winds were blowing briskly, the wind-surfers were there. 

We left the Grand Haven State Park and traveled to Lake Forest  cemetery, where Mary picked up a brochure that showed the location of the many interesting monuments and markers in the cemetery. I just snapped pictures from inside the car with my smaller telephoto lens.

These deer were grazing when we arrived.

They had come from somewhere in the nearby woods.

Mostly, they ignored us. 

And foraged for food amongst the gravesites. 

This deer looked right at me, so I took its picture.

Well, the ALCS series is set for the first game between the Red Sox and the Astros for 8:07 p.m. Friday night. That other team from Chicago was dispatched by the Astros yesterday, 10 - 1. What can I say, getting to the World Series is all that matters in Major League baseball. The 100 win Rays, and the 93 win other team were sent home for the year by the Red Sox with 92 wins and the Astros sent that other team hme for the year in spite of their 95 wins. As Tom Hanks said in his portrayal of Peaches manager Jimmy Dugan in A League of Their Own, "There's no crying in baseball." I have to agree. If there was, the Cubs would have a lot to cry about, having won only one world series in over 100 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M8szlSa-8o

At any rate, today I have another P/T appointment, Mary, Ginger and perhaps yours truly will be traveling to that big-box nearly everything store, and that's about it for one day. Ciao.
