Monday 08- I did my stretches and ran two miles.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 42 and 58 degrees, SW winds of 6 to 16 MPH , humidity around 37 percent, A few clouds.
According to the National Weather Service: “Tuesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 55. Windy, with a northwest wind between 23 and 32 mph, with gusts as high as 48 mph. Tuesday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 36. West northwest wind between 13 and 21 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph.”
Ron Dehart came by with his camera so I could take the pictures off, reduce them, and put them on his thumbdrive. We sat around yakking for a spell about how bad both of us did in high school. I did the worst and I showed him my high school permanent record that I had recently found to prove it. It’s funny that we both excelled in college after having such miserable grades. Now if I could only get that algebra down!
I went and did my Wikipedia thingy where I go from one subject to another until I find something of interest. This time I found that Earth has a second moon, well it’s a quasi-satellite and there are actually three of them: 3753 Cruithne, 2002 AA29, and 2003 YN107. They all are under the Earth’s gravitational influence. 3753 Cruithne is 5km in diameter and on closest approach to Earth is thirty time the distance of the Moon to Earth. Well this is surely something I didn’t know before!
I went for my evening walk re-listening to an Astronomy Cast lecture: Ep. 164: Inside the Atom.
I drove the headlight less Gross Polluter over to Stoney’s to pick up his car so I could drive it to the board meeting tonight. While I was there I stopped by Roger’s to put Avast anti-virus on his computer.
Once at the board meeting I sat down and took notes. There were 46 adults and 6 children who ate at our first Saturday breakfast, and 86 folks who picked up food at the USDA food distribution. Steve Tuttle told everyone that he and some neighbors are going to fill the potholes on the paved part of Winters Road; I’ll be there to take pictures and help if needed. Annelies Kuiper is still trying to write a Welcome to the Community letter for newcomers to our area and asked for any suggestions. She also said that the Spring Newsletter will be ready to send out to our 125 members at the end of March. Rob Reese is still looking for ways to get addresses of the new folks in our area. We also talked about having an Easter egg coloring contest for the kids at the next breakfast; they will let me know ahead of time so I can write it up in my column. Katherine Quinn is still waiting on info for her Local Resource List and once that is done will be put into a packets and left at the front desk so that folks can have access to them.
I got home and watched “Above the Law” (1988) starring Steven Seagal. IMDB Tagline: “He was a covert agent trained in Vietnam. He has a master 6th degree black belt in Aikido... and family in the Mafia. He's a cop with an attitude.” The movie was kind of dated but had some fine fight scenes.
Then I started reading “Alien” by Alan Dean Foster. I had actually read this before the movie came out in 1979 and I thought it might be fun to read again.
I did my stretches; practiced my guitar; wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
