madgravityWednesday 24- I did my stretches, ran a mile, lifted weights, and rode my bike.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 43 and 60 degrees, SSE winds at 2 to 11 MPH, humidity around 39 percent, mostly cloudy skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Thursday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 66. Northwest wind between 13 and 17 mph, with gusts as high as 24 mph. Thursday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 46. North wind between 4 and 7 mph becoming calm."
I did some yard work planting some cuttings off the desert willow tree and watering all the plants just in case it doesn’t rain. The desert willow has been growing here for about four years and was given to me by Linda Dehart who handed me a stick and said plant it. Well it grew up- I almost killed it once by pouring grapefruit juice on it, but it survived somehow through my ignorance.
I went on my evening walk listening to Astronomy Cast lecture: Ep. 172: William Herschel who discovered Uranus in 1781. It was the first planet discovered by a telescope. He also discovered infrared radiation by accident when he was trying to measure the ambient temperature around a prism that was emitting a rainbow of light from the Sun. I visited Princess while on my walk and fed her a carrot. I found out that she likes lemon drops too! I had one in my hand to eat and she nudged me for it; I gave her a couple more of them.
I got back home and practiced on my guitar. Then I read aloud from the textbooks: “Astronomy Today" review of the chapter on Earth; “The Cell: a Molecular Approach” about the detection of small amounts of DNA or RNA by PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction). The book keeps on saying “See chapter so an so” and maybe when I get to them chapters I’ll know what they’re talking about; Digital Electronics course is still put on hold because I’m still looking for a cassette player.
I did some webwork for the rest of the night and then did my stretches; practiced my guitar; wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
