The morning started out dark, windy, cloudy an cold – 42 degrees F. It rained last night but stopped in the early morning. The lower atmosphere was overcast except for a clearing from the South to Southwest, the wind was gusting at about 35 mph. The dawn sky was on display, analogous colors filled the clearing in the South: red, pink, orange, yellow, seafoam green, light blue and dark gray clouds. The autonomous car company was not testing their vehicles but its flood lights were turned on. The rabbits were grazing on the soccer and baseball fields but I could not see Labrona and her mate by the fence. Some birds were perched on the roof and fences waiting for their breakfast. After breakfast, they feasted on food left on the ground by the inmates. As the morning progressed, the Southern clearing brightened and the sun ray radiated out of the clearing, it created a beautiful display of colorful clouds in the sky colors ranged: gold, peach, pink, orange, yellow, white, light gray and dark gray. More clouds were moving Eastward. I noticed the snow covered mountains in the Sierras. I walked the trails on the soccer and baseball fields. Completed 6 miles walk at 7:40 AM, in 1 hour 13 minutes and 30 seconds. Average walking times were: 12 minutes and 15 seconds per mile or 2 minutes and 3 seconds per lap. Stretched and split stretched at the basketball court until 8:00 AM. It started to rain again. Talked to Doris at 8:00 AM: Doris was upset as she could not visit me today because Christina does not want to drive in the heavy rain. I told her it was a good idea to postpone the visitation until tomorrow when the weather clears up. Delaying the visitation a day should make the drive to Atwater safer. Also I told her it started raining again in Atwater. She hoped that Christina will drive her to visitation tomorrow. I told her I rather that she visit tomorrow and have a safe trip driving here rather than drive in the inclement weather. I told he I will work on my Book Report on Introductory Statistics Part 2 and do some reading. The rain stopped at 9:15 AM an the sun came out. Checked email from Doris: Doris is well and rested. She walked 8799 steps, 16.8 inches step length and symmetry was 7.4%. Yesterday was her 314th consecutive days she closed the ring on her iPhone. She was already to come visit me this morning but had to reschedule because of the rain and driving condition. She hope to visit me tomorrow. They might try to drive the Genesis instead of the SUV. Lunch was served at 9:30 AM. Luncheon menu: fired eggs, fries, pancake with syrup, apple and water. Signed up for 5 more ACE classes, most of them will start in the second week of January 2025. Census count at 10:00 AM. Showered and changed to casual clothes at 10:20 AM. The clouds started moving in and it started to rain again. Had a short nap. Went to library to work on and completed my Introductory Statistics Part 2 Book Report. Census count at 3:30 PM. Dinner was served after the count. Dinner menu: meat loaf, mashed potatoes with gravy, corn, bread and water. The weather in Atwater was cloudy and rained off and on all day. The autonomous car company had its flood light on and they were testing their vehicles. Lots of birds were waiting for their food and feasted on left over from the inmates. Worked on my EBRR Class assignments. Watched some basketball on television. 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.
