The morning started out dark but cool, in the 50’s. The big round moon was in the Western sky, the rabbits were grazing on the field and Labrona and her juvenile were grazing and playing by the basketball court. The dawn sky emerged with the analogous colors along the path of the sun: brown, red, orange, yellow, light blue, blue and dark blue sky with some dark clouds moving in from the west. As the morning progressed the analogous colors became lighter and streaks of cirrus clouds were tinted with mauve, peach, pink and orange colors, the moon was shielded by the clouds. As the sun emerged, the cirrus clouds looked beautiful and turned to light pastel colors and the sun gradually burnt off the cirrus clouds. The sun was bright golden sphere and it lit up the sky and warmed the air. The rabbits left the field, Labrona and her juvenile rabbits were hanging around the basketball court. Finished walking 6 miles at 8:00 AM, in 1 hour 12 minutes and 3 seconds. Average walking times: 12 minutes 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. Cleaned the computer room. Checked email from Doris: Doris had a good workout: planting tomatoes plants, weeding and applying herbicide to weeds. She was tired after all the work and she walked 7519 steps, 15.3 Inches step length, and 82% symmetry. Yesterday was the 63rd consecutive days she closed the ring. Diana will take her to her optometrist appointment. Francis came home late last night. Had some donuts, apples and chips for snacks. Fed the apple cores to Labrona. Showered at 9:30 AM and changed to BOP uniform. Counselor Reyes informed me that there will be 9 inmates from the bus and 3 self surrenders today. Went to sewing room to prepare the bus bags for the new inmates. Talked to Doris at 10:00 AM: Doris is well. She was tired from work out in the yard. She had a good rest after walking 7519 steps, 15.6 Inches step length and symmetry was 82%. That was the 63rd consecutive days she closed the ring. Her appointment with the optometrist is tomorrow.
