God morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 1:30 a.m. in "The City.

I was outside with GTTSD and the overnight temperature was a mild 51° under partly cloudy skies. STWD didn't want to go out, so I didn't force the issue. Later today, we expect to see a high temperature of 51° under cloudy skies with a 90% chance of rain showers in the morning. We'll also see the sun rise this morning @ 7:32 a.m. and set later this afternoon @ 6:24 p.m. We anticipate temperatures peaking with a high of 58° on Thursday. The mild temperatures, in the 50s, will continue through Friday, and then plunge into the 30s on Saturday.

Bill Steffen, Chief Meteorologist for WOOD TV/Radio, is watching the approach of that storm from the west that will bring snow to the midwest, possibly one to two feet, but which should mostly spare Michigan. with the exception of the UP and some northern counties of the lower part of the state. Here's hoping.

Speaking of GTTSD, we didn't see nor hear any trains yesterday. However, we had to go out in the afternoon, so while Ginger was in her crate and Mary and I were out, a train may have passed through.

I didn't get a lot accomplished yesterday, but Mary made a nice lunch. While I was otherwise occupied yesterday afternoon, Mary made it to the grocery store, the veterinarian's office for more dog food, and to the big-box home center before retrieving me. I was @ my first, and I guess only, "Welcome to Medicare" exam @ my internist. Everything went smoothly. Speaking of doctors, I have to return to the chiropractor later this morning to get a reevaluation of my yak. I am feeling much better, so I don't anticipate any problems there either. We also made a stop @ Sporty's and then home for dinner for both the fur-children and ourselves.

Today, after the chiropractor, I plan to spend some time reading, doing another crossword, and perhaps some baking. Mary and I have to find just the right recipe for some hamburger buns, which I may have just done with a bit of internet research. I'll check with Mary later this morning and see if she agrees. I also want to spend some time with the girls, if I can. That may depend on the visit to the chiropractor.

I think that's enough for one day. Ciao.

Special shoutout to Adam. Everything will go well for you today too. I love you.
