Wishing all of you a "good" morning. Cruising through my blog list this morning, it was clear to see that a "bunch" of people slept in this morning. As usual, John was up and around very early but that was the only sign of life. Just visited one of my favorite sites, the National Weather Service. As of 0943 this morning, the Doppler scope showed a rain squall moving into the area, currently the majority of it is situated at the entrance to Cook Inlet with a few scattered showers at the entrance to Kachemak Bay and to the north as far as Anchor Point. There is a small indication of moisture at about river mile 5 on Deep Creek. The area north of Deep Creek through the Anchorage bowl area appears to be clear of any moisture baring front. So, perhaps for those of you in Anchorage, it may be a good day to get out and pick up the yards of winter debris and start preparing your compost piles. As for those that live south of Deep Creek, it would appear to be a "bad" day to run power saws outside, so perhaps it would be a good day to watch the Master's Golf Tournament or take a nap!
No additional information pertaining to Mary, Terry is preparing to go into town to pick up Jack and go up to the hospital. She called us at about 9:00 p.m. last night, she was so groggy that she did not know what day it was, she thought it was 9:00 a.m. in the morning. I am sure it was most likely the medication that she was on so hopefully today, she will be more alert. Not real happy with the Homer hospital but what is new, as the late Doctor McAnelly once said, likely the most intelligent thing he ever said, "The Homer Hospital is the most expensive first aid station in Alaska."
You all have a good day and as the snow drifts start to melt down around your back yards, remember, "you are a redneck if you find your barbeque grill under the snow".
