Good morning! Today the Average High is 50 🌸! Three weeks to Average High is 60 🌼. Mostly sunny, around the freezing point at the bus stop near Valero. There is a South breeze at 13 mph. 🍃. Not a half bad morning for late March.

Today will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 57 degrees at 3pm. Seven degrees above normal, which is similiar to a typical day around April 12th. South wind 13 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph. A year ago, we had mostly sunny. The high last year was 49 degrees. The record high of 85 was set in 1945. 14.2 inches of snow fell back in 1932.❄ Fortunately, the Great Depression is over and today will be a much nicer day then back in the 1930s.

Today should be a nice day, maybe closer to sixty than the average high of 50 with lots of sun. ☀ The heat is shut off at least through Sunday night. The warm weather is closer today then farther away with each day creeping closer to those long summer nights. 📙 Evenings down at the park ⛲ aren’t that far away nor days swimming 🏊 and paddling in the lake or weekend getaways to the wilderness. There is much to see and do during this upcoming summer months. 🐸

The sun will set at 7:17 pm with dusk around 7:45 pm, which is one minute and 9 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for mostly cloudy skies ☁ and temperatures around 53 degrees. There will be a south breeze at 11 mph. Today will have 12 hours and 33 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 54 seconds over yesterday.

Assuming that I get out relatively early from work tonight, which I frankly admit is unlikely, 🙍I would be a good evening for sitting out back. Maybe not an awful lot of stars tonight but I’ll enjoy the fresh air assuming again that I wear the hoodie to stay warm.

Tonight will have a chance of showers, mainly between midnight and 4am. Mostly cloudy 🌧, with a low of 42 degrees at 1am. 11 degrees above normal, which is similiar to a typical night around April 28th. South wind 8 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. In 2018, we had cloudy in the evening, which became light drizzle by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 36 degrees. The record low of 0 occurred back in 1923. Probably too cold to sleep with the windows open, but I figured it would be a fairly cold day, so I left everything closed up this morning.

Tomorrow will have a chance of showers. Mostly cloudy 🌦, with a high of 55 degrees at 3pm. Five degrees above normal, which is similiar to a typical day around April 7th. Southwest wind around 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. A year ago, we had mostly sunny. The high last year was 50 degrees. The record high of 85 was set in 1946. 5.6 inches of snow fell back in 1984.❄

Wednesday wasn’t a half bad day, I took the 8:15 bus home 🏡. They got us dinner at work which was nice. Took the bus home, listening to John Denver. I don’t know why I’ve been playing his old records so much lately 💿 but they touch something that is missing in my world of suits and ties. I know I have no real excuse for exhaustion except anticipation. 😑

Another starry but modestly cool last night for my evening walk. 🚶 I wasn’t sure if I would get home early enough to get out for the walk but I did. I wore my winter coat but it was unzippered the whole time walk. Now if it could have been nice enough to sit out back and look at the stars ✨ it would have been nice but it’s still March and quite a bit colder than I would have liked. But it got late quickly so after my glass or two of cider vinegar, and a slice of frozen banana 🍌 I retired to bed.

For the longest time yesterday I could not get my phone to connect to the Wi-Fi at work. 📱 Not a really big deal but I’m always trying to save data so I have enough to use at home, and to get some podcasts to listen to 👂 at home. It didn’t matter that much, hopefully today I can download more podcasts, although who knows how much time at home to listen to them. 🎧 There is always the radio I could listen to in bed.

Not a particularly nice weekend on tap. 😞 Saturday, a chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 65. South wind 5 to 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. Maximum dew point of 50 at 12pm. Sunday, showers, mainly before 2pm. High near 48. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Typical average high for the weekend is 51 degrees.

It looks like this weekend I’ll have to work, so I guess the questionable weather doesn’t matter much. 👔Who knows how much of the weekend I’ll be at work but maybe it will be the overnight shift on Saturday night 🌃. At least I’m earning comp time that I can take off next summer should we have a heat wave 🌊 and I want to spend it at the Potholers.

I noticed one of my pants didn’t wash well last time or had something stained on it, so I’m putting it back in the wash, hoping it will clean up evenly. 👖 Maybe laundry soap, I may have not set mom’s washing machine right. I’m probably going to go to the laundromat on Friday evening, assuming parking 🅿 there isn’t too difficult with all the drunkards taking up the parking spots as they go to the bar. 🍻

I often realize days and weeks are more difficult at work than others. But I’m committed to doing a good job and making a better life for myself. 🏡 Life isn’t always easy or perfect but I’m dedicated to a better tomorrow. That said, I’m a bit concerned about the impact of government and private debt at all levels and climate change. I can work to defend my own life but the future 🔮 of our planet 🌏 and our country itself really is beyond my purview. Climate change is going to be so bad in the coming decades, within my lifetime which is probably almost half over.

In four weeks on April 25 the sun will be setting at 7:49 pm,🌄 which is 31 minutes and 53 seconds later then today. In 2018 on that day, we had rain and temperatures between 57 and 49 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 63 and 41 degrees. The record high of 89 degrees was set back in 2009. Should be camping season by then, ⛺with a lot of greening up happening in the city.🌱 I really miss being out in the wilderness.

Listening to John Denver gets me thinking about Almost Heaven, West Virginia, 💭 where I will probably return to this fall to spend the balance of Columbus Day Week at this year.🍁 Radio reminds me of my home far away. I love that state. There is a lot of WV I have yet to see and explore. Such a beautiful state. That’s a long ways away still but I still look forward exploring God’s Country. 🗻

Looking ahead, Average High is 60 🌼 is in 3 weeks, Pink Moon 🌕 is in 3 weeks, Average High is 70 🐮 is in 7 weeks, Summer ️⛱️ is in 12 weeks, Independence Day 🇺🇸 is in 14 weeks, August 🌻 is in 18 weeks and Last Sunset After 7 PM 🌆 is in 27 weeks.
