Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 5:30 a.m. in "The City."

Let's keep this one verbally short following my rather verbose blog of yesterday. We have a current temperature of 64° as we drop to the overnight low of 61° Later today, the NWS has forecast a high temperature of 74° with 74% humidity. That's why I broke down and turned on the A/C. I don't mind the heat, but we went from needing the heater last week to hot and humid. What happened to spring?

Tuesday and Wednesday promise more of the same with T-storms late Tuesday and into Wednesday. At any rate, that means that the outdoor chores I have planed will need to get done today, directly after I water the vast gardens of the PE. All of this will occur after the sun rises @ 6:10 a.m. and long before it sets @ 9:14 p.m.

Yesterday Mary and I sat in the Media Room and watched the 102nd running of the Indianapolis 500. I took a lot of pictures off of the TV an so I'll include some here, starting with the winner, Will Power, drinking from the traditional bottle of milk, to Simon Pagenaud kissing the bricks that gave the track its nickname, "The Brickyard"

Will Power, the milk and the Borg-Warner trophy.

The famous home stretch and the huge crowds that are part and parcel to the 500.

A fast pit stop is a must at Indy.

Danica Patrick's racing career ended on lap 68, with a crash.

Oops, one race spectator looking out the window of the Media Room during the race.

Just one of many crashes in the same spot on the oval.

A beautiful day in the town of Speedway, IN.

The bane of Mary's life and the lives of most environmentalists, loose balloons that pollute and kill wildlife .

The traditional flyover, this time a Stealth Bomber.

Pagenaud, hits the bricks before the race.

Baseball news yesterday was 50/50. Cubs win over the Giants, 8 - 3 and move on to Pittsburgh to face the Pirates @1:35 p.m.

The Tigers eked out a win, 3 - 2,  over that other team from Chicago and moved up to 2nd place. They face the Angels today @ 1:10 p.m.

My beloved Red Sox fell hard to the Braves, 1 - 7. Today's opponent in Fenway Park, the Bluejays.

The Caps dropped their 4th straight as they fell to the South Bend Cubs, 3 - 5. The Caps and the Cubs meet again today @ 2:05 p.m.

I made more of my soon o be famous vegan faux meat balls yesterday before the race. As usual, they turned out great.

We ran a quick errand to Spring Lake yesterday and Mary in her now famous improvisational style, used some Texas Toast cut bread to make garlic bread to go with the leftover pasta from the day before. Of course, we had to stop at Stan's on the way home. Worthy of note, we overcame our fear of the dreaded drawbridge, and went to Spring Lake.

Today, those outdoor chores, watering, reading, and whatever comes our way. Oops, I was channeling Steppenwolf and their monster hit from 1968/69, Born to be Wild. What the heck here is that song from the soundtrack of the movie, Easy Rider, as seen on YouTube™.

What can I say, the sky and the sun just before sun rise in GH is a spectacular view out the WW

Ciao.
