Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 6:30 p.m. in "The City", where the current temperature is a seasonal 40° with foggy conditions, although it feels more like 34° with a wind out of the northeast @ 10 mph. Our overnight low-temperature forecast from the NWS calls for 29° before we hit tomorrow's high temperature of 41° under partly cloudy skies. Sunrise tomorrow will occur @ 8:03 a.m. and sunset @ 5:09 p.m. with a low temperature to follow of 30°.

We didn't accomplish much today. Ginger got groomed, and I had an appointment at the hospital. We also found time to ear-read more of our shared ear-read of, The Road to Little Dribbling, by Bill Bryson. 

I have another print book to read, but I am holding off, as I just finished another book two days ago and I am not inclined to read another just yet. 

Oh, I also played my guitar early this morning, and I guess that was an accomplishment too.

We also read two newspapers and I completed three crossword puzzles and the daily crypto quote in the Grand Haven Tribune. Oh, I can add floodlight bulb replacement technician to my list of skills too. With Mary's assistance, I changed out the burned-out flood light in the back forty.

Not to be stay-at-home types, while Ginger was being groomed, we traveled over to Linear Park for a photo shoot. 

I took some random photos of the water. the scenery, and the waterfowl there, while Mary took a short walk down the lane.

Ginger will be upset that she was not along for Mary's walk.

As previously noted, I also took some photos of the water, the waterfowl, and the scenery.

With the leaves mostly down, the starkness of the channel is also photogenic.

There were so many Canada geese, that we believe they were taking a break from their southbound journey.

Sadly the high water levels and gales have badly eroded the paved paths in Linear Park.

But, plants and/or invasives still find a way to thrive there. 

Our coal tipple has neighbors across Harbor Drive, as these new apartments are now open for renters.

These Canada geese paid no heed to the sign that told them that their destination was a private marina with no outlet. Naturally, the playground across the channel was not in use today.

In Linear Park, monitoring wells have been installed to check for seepage of carcinogens from the site of the demolished Sims II power plant. 

As I noted, much of Linear Park is in need of rebuilding and so the city has taken the first steps to apply for a grant to pay for the expensive repairs/rebuilding.

But trees being what they are, many continue to grow.

Tomorrow, we hope to do as little as possible. I still have to get to check the air pressure in the tires of our Jeep™ Renegade. Otherwise, we have no plans. Ciao.
