What Day Is It?

Bay City, Texas

Weather: low 80 degrees, high 91 degrees, clear skies

Notice how warm the weather remains here on the gulf coast of Texas? We also have the humidity to go with the warm temperatures, and it still affects the heat index. I guess it’s better than snow, but some cooler weather would be welcomed. The nuclear plant I’m working at has an air conditioned containment building, which is rare. As a result of the air conditioning, working conditions are much more pleasant. Even when the reactor is operating and the plant is producing electricity, it’s cool in containment. Most of the nuclear plants in the industry are not air conditioned. When people come here for the first time, they are amazed at the comfortable working conditions.

The pace is picking up at work, and that’s a good thing, as Martha likes to say. I like a fast pace at work because the activities seem to get into a flow that keeps people alert and paying attention to their jobs. On the other hand, when I’m not working, I like a slow pace with plenty of time for meditation.

Carolyn prepared home made hamburgers with all the trimmings, including baked beans and chips for supper. One reason I like to have hamburgers at home is because I can load up the onions and not worry about what my breath smells like. Not that I don't care whether my breath smells like onion to Carolyn, but because I can brush my teeth and rinse with mouth wash after eating. Anyway, the onions were the perfect touch to a very good hamburger. In fact, it was better than any hamburger we can get in a restaurant. Did you hear that, Carolyn?

When I got home tonight, I thought it was Tuesday. Working long hours like this job requires, I tend to lose track of what day it is. I guess the reason I thought it was Tuesday was because I worked yesterday after being off on Saturday. So today is my second day at work this week, which should equate to Tuesday, right?

More later, be safe.
