Margaret, Nancy and I went over to Coronado Island to talk on the beach with the birds, the people, and with each other.  Wonderful!  Today was a typical summer day in San Diego that happens all the time in the middle of winter.  I read this morning the the San Diego temperature was going to be 74 degrees.  I decided early not to listen to or watch the news, so in Washington, D.C. something is happening, but I won't know what it is.
