madgravityThursday 08- I did my stretches, lifted weights, and rode my bike.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 48 and 75 degrees, NW winds 3 to 8 with gusts over 55 MPH, humidity around 11 percent, clear skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Friday: Sunny, with a high near 77. Northwest wind 5 to 13 mph becoming south. Friday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 48. Southwest wind 17 to 20 mph becoming west southwest 6 to 9 mph. Winds could gust as high as 26 mph.”
I was checking my email and got one from the library saying that the book I reserved has come in and is ready for pick up. I have to go to town anyways to sign papers at a bank, pick up a package at the post office, and get a new tire for the Gross Polluter, so I headed on down. I stopped at the gas station first; the Polluter was very thirsty. Got the book from the library, dropped off the tire at WalMart, went to the bank and signed the papers, picked up the new tire, and then stopped off at Stater Bros to get a few items I forgot the last time I was there.
I gotten back by 4pm and went for my evening walk listening to Astro 10: General Astronomy: Stars: Distant Suns.
I read aloud from the textbooks: “Astronomy Today" about Mar’s inner structure and its two moons; “The Cell: a Molecular Approach” about DNA Polymerases.
I’ll have to postpone reading “Cold Harbour” for a spell to read the new book I got from the library today called “U is for Undertow” (2009) by Sue Grafton. I am a big fan of her Kinsey Millhone mystery series and have read all of them beginning with “A is for Alibi”. All her books take place in the 1980s in the fictional town of Santa Teresa. In this book it starts with Kinsey sitting at her desk when a young man knocks on her office door. He tells her that a recent newspaper article has jarred his memory of a kidnapping of a young girl back in 1967 when he was six years old. He was playing alone at a friend’s house when he went off the property into a field with a lot of trees and saw two men digging a deep hole. They had a bundle on the ground next to them. He had asked what they were doing and they replied that they were digging for treasure. He believed this because they wore bandanas on their heads. Now he asks Kinsey to help him and she is hot on the trail. Since this is a rather new book I feel that I shouldn’t give too much of the story away and spoil it for anyone who wants to read it. I’ve recently found that I like to give a blow by blow summary of what I read, but only on older books. So I won’t be doing it on this one.
I did my stretches, practiced my guitar, wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
