The morning started out dark but cool, in the 50’s. The Northern Star was visible but not the moon. the dawn sky appeared, clouds over the Sierras, blue sky and followed by dark blue sky with some alto cirrus clouds in the mid sky and stratus cumulus clouds in the Western sky. As the morning progressed, the clearing over the gray clouds over the Sierras turned to pastel colors while the edges of the clouds were tinted in orange peach color. The clouds on the path of the sun turned to light grey and its edges were yellowish gold. As the sun emerged over the clouds, the streaks of alto cirrus clouds were burnt off and it warmed the air. Labrona was grazing by the basketball court while the two juvenile rabbits were chasing each other. All the rabbits left the field when the dawn sky emerged except for Labrona and its two rabbits. Finished walking 6 miles at 8:00 AM, in 1 hour 13 minutes and 24 seconds. Average walking times were: 12 minutes and 6 seconds per mile( Milla) or 2 minutes and 1 second per lap (Vuelta). Stretched and split stretched at the basketball court in the morning sunshine until 8:30 AM. The stretch felt good in the morning sunshine. Cleaned the computer room. Counselor Reyes informed me that 3 new inmates will be joining us today. Had an apple and chips or snacks. Checked email from Doris: Doris is well and she had a good night’s rest. She walked 7454 steps, step length was 15.1 Inches and symmetry was 87%. I told her the walking is helping her sleep. Diana’s daughter is home and she will spend time with her. Showered at 9:20 AM and changed to BOP uniform. Lunch was served at 10:10 AM. Luncheon menu: Fries, chili, apple, and water. Went to sewing room: exchanged large shirt for Michael, exchanged 4-4X Shirts to 2X shirts for Colby, repaired pants for Mayfield, exchanged 5-2X T-shirts and 5 Pairs of socks for Frank. Talked to Doris at 11:00 AM: Doris is well and had a good rest after walking 7454 steps, 15.1 Inches step length, and 87% symmetry. Yesterday was the 49th consecutive days she closed the ring. She raised the threshold to 7500 steps. Diana is with her daughter. Her future son-in-law is thinking about moving to the US. I told Doris that Labrona and her two juvenile rabbits were out by the basketball court and I fed them three apple cores. She received her ID from DMV but it said DL/ ID, she will mail a copy to Counselor Reyes so she doesn’t have to bring her passport for visitation. I told her we will have three new inmates today, ACE Class and GED/ESL tutoring. She will close the ring today and email me.
