EarthDay

EarthDay- I did my stretches.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 42 and 53 degrees, NW winds at 7 to 13 MPH, humidity around 44 percent, stratus clouds bringing a bit of rain with them.
According to the National Weather Service: “Friday: Sunny, with a high near 72. Northwest wind between 8 and 14 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Friday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 52. West northwest wind between 9 and 11 mph.”
I spent my EarthDay working on my patio roof. It was kind of hard getting all those plywood panels up by myself; must be getting older. I built this place all by myself and when you do that you have to get creative. I spent all day working on it, pounding nails, cutting wood, lifting panels and two by fours, but I got the vast majority of it done. While I was hammering the last of the nails on the roof it started to rain and I was rushed to get it done. When I came down the roof I took a miss-step and twisted my left foot and I think I sprained it. So I’ll stay off of it for the rest of the day and see how it feels tomorrow before I do any running.
Sometimes I think that evil is taking over the world when I see commercials put on by oil companies telling us how environmentally friendly they are. Also another thing is “EarthDay Sales” from cars and electronics to tie dye hair ties, which supposedly fulfill our hungry consumer desires! I just don’t think these companies get the point of EarthDay, or maybe it’s just me.
I read aloud from the textbooks: “Astronomy Today" started chapter on Saturn; “The Cell: a Molecular Approach” Transposition via DNA Intermediates.
I laid in bed letting my sprained foot relax and listened to Astro 10: General Astronomy: The Expansion of the Universe.
I started a new book by Terry Brooks called “Knight of the Word” (1998). It’s about magic and a young woman who has it, and a Knight of the Word who is losing his fight against feeders that are malevolence creatures who feed on the hopes of humans and try to take over the world by creating chaos and hopelessness. We’ll have to see if this book gets better- right now it hasn’t stirred me much.
I did my stretches (very carefully because of my foot), practiced my guitar, wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
