This Saturday has fallen into a very comfortable pattern. It looks like I'll be watching NFL Preseason games all afternoon, with frequent prayer breaks, until my Saturday night Svengoolie comes on at 19:00.

An easy Friday rolls steadily along. Biggest news of the day (so far, anyway) was RFK Jr. withdrawing from the Presidential race and throwing his support behind Donald Trump. I see this as very good news. A comment posted on of my social networks said that this year's Presidential race is now liberals and conservatives uniting against communists. That's pretty much how I see it, too.

Earlier today I won this CC game with a Rook-Queen combination checkmate.

This hottest day of the year so far in San Antonio found me spending most of it inside, under the a/c, enjoying baseball on the radio.

I won this correspondence chess game this morning with a Rook-Rook-pawn combination checkmate of the Black King on my 32nd White move. The position of pieces at game's end is pictured above, and the move record is posted below.

Ridiculously hot again today, and tomorrow they say. Air temperature of 107 today, maybe 108 tomorrow, and factoring in the humidity, well... Thank God for air conditioning, I say!

Looking forward to a good Monday. Went to bed early last night, before half time of the Broncos/Packers game, and slept the whole night through. I woke at 04:00 and started my day. A sleep this good is really rare for me.

Another triple-digit heat day finds me staying indoors under the a/c. A mix of sports will be playing on my TV through the afternoon and evening to provide background to whatever I do here at the work table, whether it be reading or typing at the computer keyboard. I start with the Mets vs the Marlins MLB game, now in the 1st inning. That will be followed by an Indiana Fever WNBA game mid-afternoon. More MLB will follow the basketball game and will take me up to this evening's NFL Preseason Game.

This Saturday morning has started smoothly, I'm happy to note. All regular chores of the day have been accomplished already or remain with plenty of time to finish them easily. Plans are to follow NFL games throughout the day, and catch Svengoolie tonight before heading to bed.

Early today I won this CC game playing the Black pieces when I caught the White King in a Queen-Knight Combination Checkmate.
