The morning started out dark, foggy, light breeze and cold – 39 degrees F. The lower atmosphere was foggy and visibility was about 1/2 mile but in a distance I could see thick fog rolling in. The autonomous car company had their flood lights on but were not testing their vehicles. The rabbits were grazing on the soccer and baseball fields, while Labrona and her mate were grazing by the fence near the basketball court. As the morning progressed, the thick fog moved in, visibility was reduced to a couple of hundred feet. I could not see the flood lights of the autonomous car company. Some birds were perched on the roof and fence. They feasted on food left by the inmates after breakfast. As the sky brightened, all I could see was the thick fog and visibility was only a couple of hundred feet. Completed walking 6 miles at 7:40 AM, in 1 hour 13 minutes and 40 seconds. Average walking times were: 12 minutes and 16 seconds per mile or 2 minutes and 3 seconds per lap. My walking location included trails on the soccer and baseball fields. The fog was so thick and we were summoned back to the dormitory for count. Stretched and split stretched at the dormitory while waiting for the count. Prepared another “COP OUT” to Reyes for Bad Television reception. Commissary rescheduled the commissary to Thursday.
