Hi
I did some walking once again, The temperature this morning was 68 on the news channel and 68 degrees on the front porch and back yard. Once again it was Comfortable walking due to the lower humidity and temperature.
FWIW I had a phone call around 7PM from NS telling me that my frozen should be arriving in the next three days. Sure enough this morning I have tracking numbers for Both the Frozen and Non Frozen portions in today's email showing that they are out on the truck for Delivery. I shall be somewhat busy later on checking them in. Every now and then I catch a mistake, either the wrong item or a shortage.

Hi
I did some walking once again, The temperature this morning was 58 on the news channel and 57 degrees on the front porch and back yard. It was Comfortable walking.
It is a Nice looking day. According to the Weather forecast we should have rain moving in late Saturday into Sunday.
I headed out Yesterday to CostCo for Three 5.5 pound bags of Frozen vegetables, navel Oranges, Gala Apples, Paper Towels, a Protein shake and a package of the Precooked Bacon. The bacon will be used to enhance the taste of The NS hamburger, Chicken Sandwich and Shredded onto the NS Pizzas. I only need a 1/2 slice of the 45 calorie slice on the sandwiches

Hi
I did some walking once again + 9 pennies, The pennies were all found one by one in a short stretch of sidewalk except for the last one.
The temperature this morning was 54 on the news channel and 53 degrees on the front porch and back yard. It was Comfortable walking.
Currently it is a chilly, gloomy looking day outside. OTOH I did not have any problems with the sun in my eyes while waking
Our forecast is for rain later this afternoon into Sunday Morning

Hi
I did some walking + 1 cent. The temperature this morning was 69 on the news channel and 68 degrees on the front porch and back yard. The rain with stormy weather in the forecast for Yesterday afternoon was late and it had only drizzled by 10PM. It started raining heavily shortly after I started walking and since I was only wearing my Rain Jacket everything below the bottom of it was soaked by the time I got home.
I have been making a Ham & Swiss Sandwich that has Miracle Whip as the spread. So it ends up as 95 calories protein, 80 calories of 647 Bread and slices of really a tasty Home Grown Ripe Tomato
FWIW My brother filled up yesterday, The previous fill up time before the price was $2.29 and 9/10ths and Tuesday it was up to $ 2.79 and 9/10ths. A 50 cent rise at the same station in a couple of weeks. He generally fills up when the tank is down to a half tank. The F150 has the optional large tank

Wilmington has the highest rate in America, by far, of young people being shot. The rate is more than twice that of Trenton, the No. 2 city of similar size.
Sixty-four children have been shot in Wilmington shootings between January 2015 and Labor Day. Five have died.
Wilmington also has a 2-to-1 lead over Trenton, its closest peer in the mid-sized city group, according to the data analysis. In descending order, other cities facing extraordinarily high teen shootings are Savannah, Georgia; Syracuse, New York; and Flint, Michigan.

The fanged, faceless sea creature that washed ashore during Harvey has been identified
By Lindsey Bever September 14 at 3:35 PM
A sea creature identified as a possible a fangtooth snake-eel on a beach in Texas City, Tex.
Tighe, an eel expert, told Earth Touch News that the creature was most likely a fangtooth snake-eel, or Aplatophis chauliodus.
Fangtooth snake-eels live in burrows 100 to 300 feet down in waters stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to French Guiana, “with only snout and eyes exposed, darting to feed on other fishes and crustaceans,” according to FishBase, an online database for fish species.
Other possibilities? Bathyuroconger vicinus or Xenomystax congroides.

Hi
I did some walking this Morning and still + 0 Cents, Oh well. The temperature this morning was 68 on the news channel and 67 degrees on the front porch and back yard thermometer, humidity is still forecast to hang around for a few more days
The Sun is shining and the sky is currently cloudless, Temperatures are forecast to be above average today and for a couple more days as they have been for the last couple of days
Thursday I had my brother pick up some food from the hot foods section of the ShopRite. After he called with the selection I ended up with tender tasty Roast beef slices and some Slices of Pork Loin. When I looked at the receipt to see what I owed I noticed that one was 0.23 pounds and the other was 0.24 pounds. He could not have gotten closer if he had been trying which he was not doing The Pork Loin had a slice if a decent sized Mushroom in with it. I used them as a protein for Lunch and Dinner Friday.

Once again it is a cloudy day with no Sun showing. I suspect that the clouds are related to Jose's approach and Tuesday the forecast indicates rain and wind due to Jose's passing off of the NJ coast.

After visit to Confederate monuments, 5 Richmond teenagers from low-income housing share thoughts about removal
From staff reports Sep 16, 2017
Friday morning, Richmond Cycling Corps took five of its members, ages 16-17, on a tour of the Confederate monuments in Richmond.
The purpose, according to a RCC Facebook post, was so the young men, all from Section 8 public housing, could "formulate their own opinions" about the monuments before Saturday's expected rally at the Lee monument by a small pro-Confederate group out of Tennessee and "the media frenzy that's going to ravage through Richmond tomorrow."
After the tour of the monuments, 17-year-old Daquan Morton, with input from the four other RCC youth, wrote what RCC posted on its Facebook page Friday night, which appears below.

Hi
I did some walking this Morning and + 5 Cents, The forecast rain failed to make it to my part of NJ, It did rain along the NJ Shore. There was a moderate breeze courtesy of Jose. The temperature this morning was 71 on the news channel and 70 degrees on the front porch and back yard thermometer, humidity is still forecast to hang around for another day or two
It is a partly cloudy day, The clouds related to Jose's approach have moved away from here.
on a recent news broadcast the Young Lady made a slight or not so slight boo boo. She talked about a rare Suma Tran Tiger Cub. I looked at my brother and said what the heck. He Said she meant a Sumatran Tiger Cub
