A. Morning Musings

6:20 am

The temperature is currently 15 C with a high forecast of 27 C. The sky is overcast, but it should clear off this morning. The long range forecast for the next few days for both Edmonton and Lethbridge is sunny and hot. We hope to make a brief stop there to see if we can spot some water birds at a small pond near the highway. I will be taking my camera with the tele-extender lens and hope to get a better idea of how easy it is to identify some of the ducks and possibly shore birds.

We drive to Edmonton today and hope to see the football game this evening between Edmonton and Winnipeg. Reviewing the Planning table below, it is clear that none of the items can be attended to today. That actually looks kinda good.
