The morning started out dark, breezy, cloudy and cold – 53 degrees F. The lower atmosphere was cloudy, crescent moon was in mid sky at 11 o’clock, the breeze made the temperature colder. The autonomous car company had its facility and flood lights turned on but were not testing their vehicles. The rabbits were grazing on the soccer and baseball fields, while Labrona and family were grazing by the fence near the basketball court. The rabbits were skittish this morning as there were three large dogs roaming the area. The dawn sky was on display, the snow capped Sierras was very distinct, analogous colors peeking over the Sierras, crescent moon in mid sky at 11 o’clock and colorful display of the clouds. The clouds which encompassed 3/4 of the sky were dark gray while bottom of it were red and it changed colors to orange, yellow, cream and to white colors. After breakfast, the birds appeared to feast on food discarded by inmates. As the sun rise over the Sierras, the orange sphere changed colors to Yellow and bright yellow, it illuminated the outline of the snow capped Sierras and warmed the air. As the sun ascended, it dodged in and out of the clouds. Completed walking 6 miles at 7:50 AM, in 1 hour 14 minutes and 28 seconds. Average walking times were: 12 minutes and 25 seconds per mile or 2 minutes and 5 seconds per lap. I walked the trails on the soccer and baseball fields. Stretched, split stretched and practiced Yoga at the basketball court in partial sunshine until 8:50 AM. 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 with colorful clouds an the spectacular sun rise. Opened my eyes to the cloudy sky. Talked to Doris at 9:00 AM: Doris is well and rested. The weather is nice in Pinole an the dogs are out running around. GSW will play the Lakers tonight at 5:00 AM, hope GSW plays better tonight.

They provided us with a sandwich package consisting of bread, peanut butter, jelly and sunflower seeds. They also provided us with a package of Christmas cookies and a pint of Chocolate milk. It was a very good X’Mas luncheon. The birds and a few squirrels were waiting for their food and feasted on bread, apple and cake discarded by the inmates.
