The rabbits were grazing on the soccer and baseball fields while Labrona and family were grazing by the fence near the basketball court. Today was commissary day and inmates brave the cold and lined up for their commissary. I did not get anything from commissary today. As the morning progressed, the sky brightened the sky was heavily overcast and fogged in, all I could see was gray sky.

Completed my walk at 8:00 AM. The birds appeared and were feasted on food left by the inmates. Stretched, split stretched and practiced Yoga until 8:50 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 my Yoga practice with the corpse pose and visualized the beautiful dawn sky, colorful clouds and spectacular sun rise before the rain, which is what we had when we havewhen we are not fogged in or rain.
