Sitting out back watching the Waxing Crescent Moon set in the northwest this evening. It’s about 47 degrees but with slack breeze doesn’t feel real cold. A pretty starry night but they aren’t perfect because I’m in the suburbs so light pollution dims out the stars.
Tonight is going to be a cold one with temperatures dropping to 36 degrees by 5 AM. By morning expect a quick warm up with temperatures peaking out at 67 or maybe even 70 degrees. Gradual drop off in temperature but generally nice, sunny spring weather.
I went to Lynne Jackson’s house to get the Save the Pine Bush display. Going to try to fix it up a bit before the Lupine Festival this weekend. Drove to her house avoiding the red light camera intersections as they scare me. Then did some shopping. Met with Grace to discuss some environmental issues, and then did my evening walk.
I broke my one of USB power charger. I swapping the phone and USB speaker off but sometimes I’d forget and things would go dead. But I got a $25 four port USB charger at Staples this evening and that can charge both my phone, USB speaker, and backup batteries all at once. I figure this is more energy efficient then having multiple chargers, plus less wires. I could have gotten another charger at Walmart but my experience is the Walmart equipment is pretty low quality and prone to breaking. I also gassed up my truck, as I figure gas prices will only climb as the Memorial Day holiday approaches. Gas prices are already up. I also picked up some additional groceries, so I’ll be set through the weekend without shopping.
It’s after 11. I better get to sleep.
