Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 9:30 p.m. in "The City", where the current temperature under partly-cloudy skies is a balmy 56° that feels like 53° with winds out of the south @ 10 mph. 

Earlier today, I was out in only a long-sleeved sweater and I loved it! Tonight's low will drop to 42° before the sunrise @ 7:55 a.m., and well before the sunset @ 7:52 p.m. The overnight low-temperature tomorrow will be 37°. According to the forecast from the NWS in GR, Friday's high temperature will be 44°, but the NWS is also forecasting a 92% chance for rain. 

All of that is just window dressing as we head into spring which begins on Sunday, March 20. As of now, we will have to enjoy the efforts of our Senior Staff Photographer as she and her Wing-Gal, Ginger, our resident Terrierorist, tour the mean streets of GH with only a SmartPhone camera in hand and an eye for what is photogenic on their city-safaris.

I was in the dentist's chair while they were out, but I passed them as they were heading home following my appointment. Here are the fine pictures they took while they walked.

At the corner of Jackson St. and 3rd Ave., crews were removing a tree to allow for more development.

The GHDPS blocked Jackson so that the tree could be felled across the road.

They made their way across the Third St. bridge as they crossed over Jackson to Linear Park on Harbor Island.

Which used to be home to the J. B. Sims Generating Station, now demolished. 

They stopped at this observation point that overlooks the channel.

Where they viewed this swan, not on Swan Lake, but in the channel.

As they left Linear Park, this sign referred to the "New Bridge" which was opened in 2000.

As Mary noted, "Unless you're going to redo your sign in a of couple years. Avoid the word new." I have to agree. But this is the city where the word Cemetery is also spelled Cemetary on the opposite side of a sign in Central Park, so...

Following my dental visit, I made some vegan bratwurst, and then I assisted Mary in the making of some Coleslaw for dinner. That was before sitting down to work on a couple of crossword puzzles and reading more of my latest novel, Dead at Third, by Gary Payette. 

Tomorrow, I hope to read more, play more music, do more painting, and solve more crossword puzzles. I have no indoor chores to do. 

Mary will be listening to her latest novel, one she is enjoying immensely, along with more work on her latest cross-stitch project. All in all, we are enjoying retirement. Ciao.
