The cold front that brought the high winds and darkened the sky with the blowing sand and dust particles left overnight. What remained was the cold air. Today only had a high of 60F. It will take a day or two to get back to the mid-70's F. It was a good day to remain inside.
We had thought of going to the Coyotes hockey game vs the Vancouver Canucks. A sheet I picked up with our tickets yesterday at the activity desk offered a discount for Cal-Am night tonight. When I phoned I was told there were no discounts available because tonight's game would be a sell-out. So, we passed on that option!
Our next thought was a movie. Only a few of the Academy Nominees were playing. Since we like NCIS (both versions) on TV we decided to pass on the movie option as well. Maybe tomorrow?
Charlotte, other than an afternoon walk, spent most of her time working on her quilt. It's a lot of work and she can be justifiably proud of her effort.
The Wi-Fi was particularly poor for most of the day. It took quite a while (a few hours) to check emails, do business and write yesterday's blog. Loading a blog picture earlier took between 10 minutes and a half hour earlier today. At night when the demand is less a picture loads in less than 10 seconds. They really need more bandwidth. If I think of it I will suggest they ask all folks disconnect when not actively using the Internet or email. Perhaps many people don't realize their computer Wi-Fi - if not disconnected (2 clicks of the mouse) or shut-off (most computers have a switch for that) keeps checking with the Wi-Fi service even when they are doing something else on the computer. If everyone did this it would help ease the situation.
I spent most of the day working on a few of my computer program creations (Wi-Fi disconnected, of course)..
Warmer weather should bring more outside activity tomorrow.
