Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 12:30 a.m. in "The City."

I'm about to try for the KISS version of my blog once again. Let's see how I do.

GTTSD was under the bed when Mary alerted me to the passage of the train yesterday. Being a Tuesday moring, I hadn't anticipated any train yesterday and I was surprised and also disappointed. The return of locomotive #2057 to the yard north of here was a very short train, as that was all I saw, #2057 soloing with no cars in tow. Perhaps things will get back to normal later today, perhaps not.

We have a current temperature of 33° that feels more like 29° under mostly cloudy skies. The NWS is forecasting a winter weather advisory this morning @ 5:45 a.m.,  that is expected to last until 9:00 a.m. We may or may not get up to two inches of snow, making rush hour driving hazardous and slow. In addition, the NWS has also predicted that the temperatures will drop to the upper twenties before the high temperature of 30° is reached. Good news, though, the NWS is still forecasting a high temperature on Saturday of 53° under sunny skies. Great weather for walking to my Irish Jam session @ the library.

We had a great day yesterday after the wash machine repairman had departed. The final bill was $269.83, which was approximately 41% of the cost of a new machine. The repairman replaced the water pump and we were good to go.

Mary had to get to her chat session while I kept track of the extraordinary beest that she had started along with finishing the laundry. Part of the beest became dunch, or was it linner accompanied by sweet potatoes. At any rate, I liked it.

STWD and I took a walk to The Bookman, but she was unrequited in her quest for a treat.

We traveled to the grocery store in mid-afternoon and then to Sporty's for some adult libations. We picked up a take and bake pizza on the way home and then it was time for some TV news, game shows, and NCIS.  I took the fur-children out for their final run after that and then I headed upstairs to watch NCIS New Orleans, which was part two of the NCIS saga. I fell asleep in my chair for a while and then I wound up here.

Today, I plan to stay in bed and let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Mary has no work nor other activities scheduled, so I believe that once the fur-children have had their breakfast and their morning out, we can all settle in for the morning.

I did play with the girls yesterday afternoon and I think I was playing and singing well. I can't say the same about the day before.

The sun will rise this morning @ 7:21 a.m. and set @ 6:16 p.m. Ciao.
