No call out for Dublin orderlies today. The morning started out dark, hazy, light breeze and cool – 57 degrees F. The lower atmosphere was very hazy with plumes of dark smoke and the light breeze made the temperature cooler. The autonomous car company had their facility and flood lights turned on and they were testing their vehicles. Rabbits were grazing on the soccer and baseball fields, while LaBrona and family were grazing by the fence near the basketball court. Breakfast was early and no birds appeared after breakfast, so the inmates left their food on the ground and on the basketball court. The beautiful dawn sky was on display: red striated band of haze; striated analogous colors over the Sierras: red, orange, yellow, light green, light blue and blue sky. As the sun rise over the Sierras, it illuminated the Sierras giving it depth and the red sphere changed colors as it ascended through the haze: red, orange, yellow, and bright yellow and it warmed the air. The birds appeared and feasted on the food left by the inmates and foraged in the fields. I walked the trails on the soccer and baseball fields. Completed walking 6 miles at 7:40 AM, in 1 hour 14 minutes and 30 seconds. Average walking times were: 12 minutes and 25 seconds per mile or 2 minutes and 5 seconds per lap. Stretched, split stretched and practiced Yoga at the basketball court until 8:40 AM. The stretch and Yoga practice felt good after the morning walk. I was able to exercise all phases: strength, flexibility, balance and breathing. Finished my Yoga practice with the corpse pose and visualized the beautiful dawn sky and colorful sun rise. Opened my eyes to the hazy blue sky with plumes of dark smoke. Walked six more miles until 10:15 AM. I am walking extra miles to achieve my goal of 4,000 miles before I leave on 4/22/2025. Squirrels were grazing on the soccer and baseball fields. The autonomous car company was testing their vehicles. Lunch was served at 10:20 AM. Luncheon menu: hamburger, salad, French fries, pear and water. Commissary staffs unloaded merchandise for commissary. They had a sale for Unicor workers from 10:00-12:00 PM.
