The morning started out dark, breezy, foggy and cold – 41 degrees F. The lower atmosphere was filled with thick fog an it was breezy. A few rabbits were grazing on the baseball field. The fog was so thick that I could not see the floodlights, equipment and test track for the autonomous car company. As the morning progressed, the sky brightened but the visibility was only a few hundred feet. The birds appeared and were on the roof and on the fence. After breakfast, they had a feast when the inmates threw their food on the ground. EBRR Classes from 7:30- 9:30 AM were cancelled because the CO did not show up. Continued walking and completed 6 miles at 7:40 AM, in 1 hour 13 minutes and 15 seconds. Average walking times were: 12 minutes and 13 seconds per mile or 49 seconds per lap. Stretched, split stretched and practiced Yoga at the basketball court until 8:50 AM. The sun tried to break through the clouds and fog but more fog blew in and covered the sun. 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 our trip to Malibu Beach. We had coffee and strolled around the beach. Drove to the Malibu beach trail. It was a paved trail with sitting areas at various vista points. We could see the rugged coastline of Highway 1. There were weddings held on the trail. New multimillion dollars homes were being built on the trail. The air was clean and crisp. Had lunch in a restaurant on the trail and enjoyed the beautiful view. Opened my eyes to the dense fog. Called Doris at 9:00 AM. Doris is well and rested. The weather was clear but cold in Pinole and the dogs were out running around and harvesting some Persimmons. The dogs were eating the Persimmons and leaving the stems. She will go to the bank to withdraw some funds for visitation tomorrow. Christina will drive her to Atwater tomorrow. ETA was around 10:30 -11:00 AM. She completed her chores and will have a relaxing day. I will have my tutoring and ACE Classes tonight. Secretary Chavez informed me that we will have three new inmates on Tuesday 12/3/2024. Showered and changed to BOP uniform at 9:30 AM. Checked email from Doris at 10:00 AM, Doris is well and rested. She walked 8779 steps, 17.4 inches step length and symmetry was 7.6%. Yesterday was the 299th consecutive days she closed the ring on her iPhone. Karlee and Chris wished us a Happy Thanksgiving. Doris will visit me tomorrow and asked me to call her for ETA. Lunch was served at 10:30 AM. Luncheon menu: Fried Fish sandwich, beans, rice, apple, buns and water. Had a short nap. GED/Statistics tutoring 12:00 – 3:30 PM. The fog cleared little and the sun was able to break through the fog and clouds. It was cloudy in mid sky. Census count at 3:30 PM. Dinner was served after the count. Dinner menu: casserole, bread, salad, corn and water. ACE classes Mastering Stage Presence 5-5:30 PM and History of Music, Rock N Roll 6-6:30 PM.
