The morning started out dark, cloudy, hazy, breezy and cool. The lower atmosphere was hazy and cloudy. The moon was shielded by the moon on the Western horizon. The beautiful dawn sky was on display with the band of red haze, mauve colored plumes of smoke, golden colored clouds, analogous colors peeking over the Sierras and the contrasting dark blue sky. The autonomous car company was testing their vehicles but stopped after sun rise. The rabbits were grazing on the soccer and baseball fields, while Labrona and family were grazing by the fence near the basketball court. As the morning progressed analogous colors radiated out of the suns path: red, orange, yellow, light green, light blue, and blue sky. The squirrels appeared after breakfast and were scurrying around begging for food from the inmates. As the sun rise over the Sierras, the reddish orange sphere illuminated the band of red haze, golden clouds, outline of the Sierras, mauve colored plumes of smoke and dark grey clouds in the distance, a picturesque scene. Completed walking 6 miles at 7:40 AM, in 1 hour 14 minutes and 6 seconds. Average walking times were: 12 minutes and twenty one seconds per mile or 2 minutes and 4 seconds per lap. Stretched, split stretched and practiced yoga at the basketball court until 9:00 AM. The stretching and Yoga felt good after the walk and I was able to exercise all phases: strength, flexibility, balance and breathing. Finished my Yoga practice with the corpse pose and visualized our trip to Montezuma Cliff Dwellings near Williams, Arizona. The Indians were living on home dug out from the cliffs probably to get away from animals and foes. It was dangerous to get to the dwellings but they were protected from the elements. Opened my eyes to the Blue sky. Talked to Doris at 9:00 AM. Doris is well and rested. I told her secretary Mrs Chaves printed out my FSA release date and I was eligible for Half Way House on 11/2/2024. Most likely it will be before X’Mas 2024. She was happy I might be back before X’Mas. It was drizzling in Pinole, she will stay home and do everything indoors. Helped Commissary unload some merchandise for Commissary tomorrow. Showered and changed to BOP uniform at 9:30 AM. Cleaned computer room. Checked email from Doris: Doris is well and rested. She walked 8968 steps, 16.4 inches step length an symmetry was 72%.
