Awake: 7:07am   Temp 58    sleep 5+38     mid morn rain    overnight @ San Diego, CA.

With the outside temp a little cool, we were content to just hang out in our motorhome all morning & afternoon; doing some reading, X-word puzzles, etc.

Aside from Kathy's regular morning programs, our main TV stays off all day until around 6:00pm ...6:30pm. Only then do we catch-up on the news & political activities.

Only...today was different; the mid morning rain was nice. Most of CA needs water (rain) so it was a good start.

Around 12:30pm, Kathy called Sallie; they talked for awhile & then Kathy held the phone away to let me know that Sallie invited us to go see a movie with them. I wasted no time in declining their offer. Besides, Sallie was sort of fighting a sore throat.

Also, I had been monitoring the NOAA (weather forecast) for San Diego & I did not want to go anywhere today if their prediction came true. Kathy accepted that position & we continued our cozy & casual day.

Sometime after 3:30pm, a blanket of darkness rolled over our campground followed by strong winds & heavy rain...howling in with a vengeance.

It takes a strong wind to rock & roll our motorhome around & we were getting that. We found out later that the winds were gusting as high as (60+) mph. We had a small river flowing down our street.

Dinner: Minestrone with bread. Long time no have....and it was delicious

Mid evening, the weather calmed down enough for us to watch (3) programs: "ABC news, Jeopardy, & O'Reilly."   

 Evening recorded movie: "A Child is waiting." We watched ½.

Lights out: 11:46pm.
