madgravityTuesday 23- I did my stretches and ran two miles; a lot warmer today than yesterday!
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 39 and 58 degrees, WNW winds at 13 to 31 MPH, humidity around 31 percent, mostly clear skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Wednesday: Mostly cloudy, with a high near 64. Light wind becoming south southwest between 14 and 17 mph. Winds could gust as high as 24 mph. Wednesday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 45. West wind between 10 and 20 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph.”
I did some work around the house and then called Marcie up so I can take that picture file of Bob Seeley I spent four hours on yesterday over to download it onto her computer. She was home this time so I went right on over. She wanted me to print them out for Seeley’s memorial this Saturday but I spent the next hour trying to get her dang printer to work. First it was unplugged. Then it wouldn’t print because the yellow cartridge was out of ink. I tried to bypass it to just print in black but it wouldn’t do it, dang. She’ll have to go and buy a new one.
I checked on a friend’s home who is on vacation and watered his plants and gave him a call from his house phone (he has unlimited calling) to see what he’s up to. He said he expects to be home by next week.
I went on my evening walk listening to Astronomy Cast lecture Ep. 170: Coordinate Systems. Stuff I already know but it’s good to have a refresher! If you don’t know alt-azimuth, right ascension and declination, arc seconds and arc minutes, this would be a nice lecture to listen to. I stopped by along the way to feed Princess an apple and a carrot.
I got back home and read aloud from the textbooks: “Astronomy Today" about Earth’s Magnetosphere, and Tides; “The Cell: a Molecular Approach” about detection on Nucleic Acids and Proteins- if I even understood one percent of this book I’d feel accomplished! Then I practiced my guitar.
I watched “NOVA: Megabeasts' Sudden Death” about how large animals in North America became extinct twelve thousand nine hundred years ago, and the present day theories that try to explain what happened. Most believe that a comet hit Earth wiping them out.
I did my stretches; practiced my guitar; wrote my column for the newspaper and sent it in; wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
