The morning started out dark, cloudy, foggy and cold – 43 degrees F. The lower atmosphere was foggy but visibility was over 1 mile. The autonomous car company had their flood light on but were not testing the vehicles. The rabbits were grazing on the soccer and baseball fields, while LeBrona and mate were grazing by the fence near the basketball court. As the sky brightened, fog filled the lower atmosphere and clouds in the sky with some clearing in mid sky, some clouds were tinted with peach color amid the blue sky. The birds appeared after breakfast and feasted on food left by the inmates on the ground. Completed walking 3 miles at 7:00 AM, in 37 minutes and 20 seconds.

Talked to Doris at 8:50 AM: Doris is well and rested. Weather was cold in Pinole when she let the dogs out. The dogs are out running around. She read all my journals which I entered and emailed to her. Prison Professor has posted several of them on my web page. I told her I will be busy with tutoring, Statistics class, hemming pants and new assignments for Magdeleno. She will enjoy the GSW/Rockets game on Wednesday. Went to front office at 9:10 AM. I was assigned three tasks: 1) replace two telephones at the dormitory, 2) Make 2000 copies for commissary, and 3) ship out damaged phones in the warehouse.
