The morning started out dark, breezy, cloudy in mid sky and cool – 48 degrees F. The lower atmosphere was cloudy in the Southern horizon and clouds moving in from the North, hazy, the 1/2 moon in mid sky and light breeze made it cool. The autonomous car company had their facility and flood lights turned on but they were not testing their vehicles. Rabbits were grazing by the fence near the basketball ball court. The beautiful dawn sky was on display: band of red haze, analogous colors radiating out of the suns path: red, orange, yellow, light green, light blue and blue sky, the 1/2 moon was in mid sky at 12 o’clock and the clouds on the suns path were mauve and peach colors. Breakfast was served early and no wildlife appeared so the inmates left their food on the ground and on the basketball court. As the sun rise over the Sierras, it changed colors from red, orange, yellow to bright yellow as it ascended through the haze, it brightened the sky and warmed the air. I walked on the soccer and baseball fields trails. Completed walking 6 miles at 7:40 AM, in 1 hour 14 minutes and 12 seconds.
