Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 4:30 a.m. in "The City."

As is often the case, I am listening to Coast to Coast AM in the early AM, with guest host Jimmy Church sitting in for regular host, George Noory. What's new this morning? Is President Trump concealing the evidence of UFOs? Why has there been no reporting of various "False Flag" operations like the controlled demolition of the World Trade Centers on 9/11? How do you explain how/why an oil painting from the 1930s entitled Mr. Pynchon and the Settling of Springfield depicting life in the 17th century, by Umberto Romano, shows a Native American sitting in a canoe staring at a cell phone? Why is the government manipulating the weather?

The UFO cover up under President Trump is to conceal a secret military program. The World Trade Centers were demolished on the orders of former VP Dick Cheney to help his former company profit. The Native American in the canoe staring at a cell phone seven decades before the first modern cell phone was introduced has been explained by historians as the man looking at a mirror or a piece of metal. The government is manipulating the weather to the benefit of "Big Oil" and Big Coal." Oh, somehow, George Soros and the former POTUS are also benefitting from all of the hysteria over Global Climate Change caused by the media and the hoax that is being perpetrated on the American people and the world's population as a whole.

Tell that the last one to the people in Texas and Louisana who are directly in the path of the "Government Created" Hurricane Harvey and the 20 to 50 inches of rain that will fall in parts of Texas, that the rain, flooding, and resulting multi-billion dollar property damage is all in their collective minds. I could go on, but Mary is right, "We don't need all, we just have all." What this show is highlighting is that the title of the Edgar Winter's Groups' third album, They Only Come Out at Night is apropos when it comes to the audience for Coast to Coast AM.

But I digress. I was outside with Ginger around 3:00 a.m. and the current temperature according to my DTWS with its information received from FPMS, is 54°, while the NWS is reporting 52° under clear skies. Worthy of note is that Kyle Underwood of WOOD TV and Radio in GR is telling us that the low in the 40's expected inland will not happen here in GH. Instead, we can expect lows in the 60s. Well, I'm going with my personal backyard observations and the temperatures from my own DTWS. It is in the mid-50s here. Today's high will reach 75° according to Underwood and the NWS, but as we all know, it is always cooler or warmer on the shores of the "Inland Ocean" the "Big Lake", Lake Michigan. Oh. the sun will rise @ 7:03 a.m. and set @ 8:29 p.m.

Have you noticed that I have been avoiding the baseball news? Well, that's because it was mostly bad.

The Cubs dropped a one-sided game to the Phillies last night. The Cubs managed one run, a "Moonshot" home run by Kyle Schwarber in the top of the 1st inning. Sadly, Cubs' starting pitcher Jose Quintana surrendered six earned runs. four walks, and nine hits in his five innings of pitching. The Cubs never got it going. Fortunately, the standings in the NL Central didn't change as both the 2nd place Brewers and the 3rd place Cardinals both lost. The Cubs are still in first with a record of 68 - 59. The Cubs and the Phillies meet again tonight @ 7:05 p.m.

My beloved Red Sox fell hard in their game against their AL East rivals, the Orioles by a  lopsided score of 3 - 16. The Sox were never really in the game, starting pitcher, Rick Porcello, was ineffective, and the Orioles benefitted from five errors committed by the usually sparkling defense of the Sox. At any rate, the 1st place Sox have a record of 73 - 55 and lead the 2nd place losing Yankees by 4.5 games. The Sox and the Orioles play this afternoon @ 4:05 p.m.

The 4th place in the AL Central Tigers were looking good through most of their game against that other team from Chicago, with Justin "JV" Verlanderer striking out eight before his relief corps surrendered the winning run on a walk-off single, as the Tigers lost the game, 2 - 3. The Tigers play that other team again tonight @ 7:10 p.m.

One lone bright spot was the MWL East win by the Caps over their division rivals, the Bowling Green Hot Rods, 3 - 1. The Caps held on to 1st place by 1.5 games over the Ft. Wayne TinCaps. The Caps and the Hot Rods play tonight @ 7:00 p.m.

Elsewhere, we traveled to Holland to pick up our framed pictures, which we hung later yesterday in what has been renamed the "Flower Room", AKA the foyer of the manse. I baked more basil/zucchini biscuits using my crops. after I mowed the vast lawns of the PE along with some edging with the line trimmer. I harvested the potato crop and netted 5/12 pounds of potatoes for my efforts, while Mary was chatting and Adam and Steph were riding the dune trails near Silver Lake, MI.

Today, more indexing for Mary and I and more relaxing for Adam and Steph. Ciao.
