A. Morning Musings

5:20 am It is + 10 C and clear. The forecast high is 25 C.

I am feeling fresh and alert this morning. I think that I have recovered from our trip - yesterday I was sluggish and not very energetic.

The coffee tastes great. Now to have an early morning wake-up by looking at puzzle #5. This was a problem in comparing two images and looking for 5 differences. Easy. Now for another sip. Mmmm.

C. Actual/Notes

8:00 PM I took the car in for maintenance at 8 am and read "Science and the Akashic Field" in the waiting room for a hour. I had a dental appointnment at noon and then went for a walk in the coulee. I found time to read the science book for another hour in the afternoon. Originally I planned to attend the model train meeting at 7 PM but decided to pass on that for another couple of weeks until I am ready to begin playing with my layout again.
