Saturday 21
Aug. 22nd, 2010 12:26 amSaturday 21- I did my stretches.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 86 to 106 degrees, SE winds of 7 to 16 MPH, humidity around 30 percent, clear skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Sunday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 101. Calm wind becoming south between 11 and 14 mph. Winds could gust as high as 21 mph. Sunday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 74. South wind 7 to 15 mph becoming west northwest. Winds could gust as high as 22 mph.”
I called family and friends throughout the day. I always save my Saturdays to do this.
I was saddened to read of the passing of Jack Horkheimer; he had a show on PBS called “Star Gazer” for many years (usually late at night). Jack had a great way of explaining difficult subjects in astronomy in laymen terms. He’d end every show with “Keep looking up”. We will Jack!
One of the doves has started a nest with two eggs outside my bathroom window. I hope it’s not too late into the season for the chicks, but they do grow up fast once they’re hatched.
So dang hot and humid I just stay in the house reading “Lightpaths” by Howard Hendrix and messing with computers.
I went for my evening walk listening to Astronomy Cast Episode 188: The Future of Astronomy.
I got restless around midnight and did my stretches, lifted weights, and went for a night run. I felt mighty good after doing that.
I practiced my guitar, wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
