10/15/26 8:00 43F (6.1C)  AQI 19

The sun creeps from behind the ridge, noticeably farther south than before. It rises into a clear blue sky, calm but for an inference of a breeze.

I slept late.

It is relatively quiet.

A few birds are singing in the day.

The occasional passing car hustles by.

Dogs along the road are chatting about the weather  and sharing the neighborhood gossip.

A salvo of gunfire disturbs the tranquility and upsets Walter Dawg.

Quiet settles back into the canyon, squirming a little, wriggling its backside to get comfortable again.

A puff of smoke drifts around the tipi poles.

Good morning.
