bobdeloyd - Wednesday 12

Wednesday 12 - did my stretches.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 51 to 78, winds NW 4, humidity around 33 percent, light clouds. According to the National Weather Service “Thursday...Sunny. Highs in the lower 80s. North wind 10 to 15 mph. Gusts up to 35 mph in the afternoon. Thursday Night...Clear. Lows in the upper 50s. Northwest wind 10 to 15 mph. Gusts up to 25 mph after midnight.”
I had to go to town today to send off a couple of birthday cards. I did a few things around the house first before I went. Then I hopped into the Gross Polluter and headed off to town. I mailed off the cards and hung around Joshua Tree looking for a WIFI hotspot that I could hook into: there were none.
I stopped by the Health Food Store to pick up some yeast for my oatmeal, but they only had a little bit left, not even a pound, and I bought it all. The kind lady said they’d get some in next week.
The Beatnik Café was one place that had WIFI but it is close down over a dispute over a long term lease the sign said on the door. I went to the library but all they had was a row of computers on Ethernet and no WIFI. They did have some 1Gig USB thumb drives they were selling for the low price of $7 and I bought me one. One problem with the library now is that there was no place to sit down to read a book because the computers take up so much space. I didn’t count them but I believe there are ten computers there and they were all occupied by folks tediously pounding away at the keyboards.
I wandered the streets of Joshua Tree just taking in the sights and the people. I stopped in at the Teacakes Bakery. I was going to buy a loaf of their excellent bread but they were all sold out, so I settled for a peanut butter cookie (I like peanut butter cookies) and ate it around back where they have a little outside alcove with tables and chairs.
Got back home and went on my evening walk. It was such a nice day with the temps into the mid 70s and a light breeze. Went online to do a little webwork and then watches “Bones” on Fox about a man who was blown out of a confiscated crack lab trailer during a police training exercise.
I then read a chapter in “Pale Blue Dot” until late. Did my stretches, practiced my guitar, wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
