Weight training with Jillian today.  This one beats me up.


Psalm 121 - It is so restoring that I had to read it twice to Mom.  "the Lord will watch over your coming and your going".  And I will sing the corresponding song "O God our help in ages past" in my head all day.  Need to be reminded that God is always with you?  This is the psalm.


On this day:
1975 - We were on vacation, on the boat tied up at Jim and Sharon's house on the Clinton River.  As it happens so often the weather was not perfect for our vacation week.  It was cool and rainy.  So we sat and played cards all day till we decided to run the boat back to the marina in the rain.  When we got back and dried off we went over to Pat and Pam's and had dinner.  Doesn't sound like much of day until you think of having good friends that you can spend even a bad day with and it becomes better. 
1821 - U.S. troops took possession of Florida. The territory was sold by Spain. If you have been there you know that some of these troops still live there.  Mi bad.


Parenting - I shouldn't talk, about old people.  I am quickly getting there.  I watch Mom's progress on the aging road and sometime I get mad at her for forgetting or moving to slow.  I'm conscious of it, and try to remember that we are all on this road.  She would prefer not to be this way.  Message here is be patient and enjoy your health.  Oh and if you are camping up north look out for wildlife.


Book Club - Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.  Oooo the plot thickens.  Great reading.


Bucharest -

Climate[edit]

Bucharest has a transitional climate, with both continental and subtropical influences (Köppen climate classification Cfa/Dfa/Cfb/Dfb). Owing to its position on the Romanian Plain, the city's winters can get windy, even though some of the winds are mitigated due to urbanisation. Winter temperatures often dip below 0 °C (32 °F), sometimes even to −20 °C (−4 °F). In summer, the average temperature is 23 °C (73 °F) (the average for July and August) Temperatures frequently reach 35 to 40 °C (95 to 104 °F) in mid-summer in the city centre. Although average precipitation and humidity during summer are low, there are occasional heavy storms. During spring and autumn, daytime temperatures vary between 17 to 22 °C (63 to 72 °F), and precipitation during this time tends to be higher than in summer, with more frequent yet milder periods of rain.  Sounds like here!


Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!
