Friday

33 Low High 48 - 34 at 11:30pm Wind N 7  We had 23" moisture

C & I took B along shopping and stopped at Nicholson Super Service for auto part - didn't have it so C took us home,

We got dinner, then played Parcheesi till 3.  Red gave us some scraps for the cats, so they had a good supper!

Astrolite set off today to try to land on moon. It missed the moon by some 20,000 miles.
