Here are some wandering thoughts from a Friday night.

I am thinking about how the forecast high temperature for Sunday is 111 degrees, and that for the next 4 days it will be in the triple digits.

I just happened to have a picture of a temperature display of 111 degrees from Old Blue.

I am thinking about the Red Jungle Fowl which is the ancestor of the chicken. I have been reading a book about how the chicken spread across the world. More about this book in a future post.

I am thinking about Jane Austen as I am also reading a book about what matters in what she wrote. There will most likely be a post about this book in the near future.

I am thinking about race cars, but don’t ask me exactly how this subject wandered into my thoughts. It is a bit complicated, but involves both car racing and athletics as a Diamond League event is currently on TV.

It also has me thinking about family friends who live in Indianapolis.

I am also thinking about Jayce Tingler,the new manager of the San Diego Padres. The Padres played the A’s tonight and I was watching the game. I have followed Tingler’s career since he was in High School, and am really happy that his first season as a Major League manager is going well. However, I was not really happy that the A’s lost tonight but when two teams you like play someone has to.

Now to get ready for the hot weekend.
