Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. across the nation and across the world. It is just past 5:00 a.m. in "The City." I am listening to the final hour of Coast to Coast AM  and its host, George Noory along with his guest, Brett Farrell, discussing his work as a therapist trying to help people overcome trauma and addiction.

The current view out the WW shows snow-covered rooftops amd snow-covered streets to accompany our current temperature of 14° that feels like 14°. The NWS has forecast a Winter Weather Advisory  that goes into effect tonight @ 9:00 p.m. and runs through 3:00 p.m Wednesday. Sometime later this evening, the snow will reappear, falling lightly at first, but continuing to an accumulation of three to six inches. Lest I forget, the high temperatures here in the Tri-Cities area are not expected to reach the lower 30s until March 9!

Good news though, there is baseball on TV from Florida and Arizona. In Lakeland, FL, spring home of the Detroit Tigers, the current temperature is 63° as they head towards today's 80% chance for rainy conditions and a high of 75°,

In Ft. Myers. FL, the spring home of my beloved Red Sox, the current temperature is 69° with the forecast from the NWS calling for a 90% chance of T-storms today as the high reaches 82°.

In Mesa, AZ, where the Cubs are trying to put together another Pennant/World Series winning team, the current temperature is 48° under partly-cloudy skies. Once the sun rises, the high temperature is forecast to reach 72° in dry desert conditions today.

We/I had a good day yesterday. We got up late, made it to "The Bell" for lunch and then on to P/T for a thorough session. Ben. my therapist, assured me that there would be days that are up and days that are down on the road to my final recovery. He said, "Don't push it, do your "homework" and be patient."

We left therapy and traveled to that other big-box mostly everything store that sits adjacent to the locally owned big-box nearly everything store. We had gone there in hopes of finding those vegan wide/flat noodles that I'd mentioned, but they didn't actually have them on the shelf. Instead, we came away with nothing except a reminder why we don't shop there. We ended up ordering the noodles on their website for pick-up Friday after 6:00 p.m. It looks like Mary's plans for a toona casserole will be on hold until Saturday.

A stop at the local dollar store for some supplies and then a stop at Rite Aid and Stan's in Spring Lake before heading home for a dinner of mixed vegetables and vegan sausages. Mary has plans to make another of her famous Hammish Roasts later today to serve on the Polish rye bread she picked up the other day. I have plans to transcribe the notes I took from my latest non-fiction book, How Democracies Die. As I noted the other day, the premise and actuality of the book are/were hair raising.

Mary was downstairs watching TV and knitting when I came upstairs to fall asleep. I awoke long enough to go to bed until just after 4:00 a.m. and now, here I am.

The sun will rise today @ 7:25 a.m. and set tonight @ 6:30 p.m. Ciao.
