The morning started out dark, hazy, calm, sparse clouds and cold – 41 degrees F. The lower atmosphere was very hazy with thick plumes of dark smoke over the Eastern Sierras, Southern and Western horizons, some sparse cirrus clouds in mid sky. The autonomous car company was maintaining their equipment, no testing today. The rabbits were grazing on the soccer and baseball fields, while Labrona and family were grazing by the fence near the basketball court. The beautiful dawn sky was on display with Red band of haze, red coloration peeking out of the dark plumes of smoke, analogous colors radiating out of the suns path. The birds appeared after breakfast and inmates left food on the ground for them, the birds had a feast. As the sun rise, the sparse cirrus clouds turned peach golden color, the sun changed color as it passed through the haze and smoke. It started out red, then orange, turned yellow as it ascended and finally bright brilliant yellow color. It brightened the sky and warmed the air. Completed walking 6 miles at 7:40 AM, in 1 hour 13 minutes and 12 seconds. Average walking times were: 12 minutes and 12 seconds per mile or 2 minutes and 2 seconds per lap. Stretched, split stretched and practiced Yoga at the basketball court in the morning sunshine until 8:40 AM. The stretch and Yoga practice felt good after the cold morning walk. I was able to exercise all phases: strength, flexibility, balance and breathing. Finished the Yoga practice with the corpse pose and visualized our trip to Chicago, Illinois on our Route 66 trip. Chicago was a big city. We checked into a luxury high rise condominium rented by Coos. The condominium had a very good view of the city. We walked to Detroit Avenue which had lots of shopping and lots of tourist attractions. We went on the Chicago River cruise to see all the famous building located by the river. It was a nice and informative river cruise. We had dinner and instead of walking home, some of us decided to take an Uber back to our condominium. That was my first experience with Uber. Opened my eyes to the hazy blue sky. Talked to Doris at 9:00 AM: Doris is well and rested. It was cold in Pinole, the dogs were keeping warm under the blankets and in their dog house. She helped Diana design her tote bag. She will be watching the GSW/Thunder game tonight. I told her I will have a relaxing day and catch up on my reading and Statistics. She will stay home and work on her new design for Etsy and walking indoors. Lunch was served at 9:30 AM. Luncheon menu: fried eggs, toast with syrup, fries apple and water. Census count at 10:00 AM. Showered and changed to casual clothes. Checked email from Doris at 11:00 AM: Doris is well and rested. She walked 8725 steps, 16.5 inches step length and symmetry was 7.2%. Yesterday was the 280th consecutive days she closed the ring on her iPhone. Karlee texted her that they are going to Disneyland during Thanksgiving but Christina will bring Doris to Atwater to visit me during that week. Had a short nap. Went to library to work on my Statistics lessons and my ACE class report Mastering Stage Presence. Census count at 3:30 PM. Dinner was served after the count. Dinner menu: Tacos, black beans, rice, corn, cheese, salsa and water. Census count at 7:00 PM. Census count at 8:00 PM. Cleaned up at 9:00 PM. Final Census count at 9:30 PM. Went to be at 10:00 PM.
