Sunday September 3rd 2023

The day began cloudy and threatening. It ended warm and sunny. The temperature peaked right around ninety which is the average for the area at the beginning of September. The really hot and humid days start to diminish as the month progresses.

I was temporally challenged today. If you asked me the time, I was likely to be an hour off one way or another. This area is right on the border between eastern time and central time. All of the clocks I set manually are on eastern time. The devices that get set automatically might be either. My cell phone is on central time ninety percent of the time, but occasionally it catches a tower in the eastern time zone and displays eastern time. One TV displays time directly from the TV stations in the central time zone. The other one still seems to be displaying eastern time. My satellite receiver is manually set to eastern time. Devices like my tablet and computer that connect to the internet via cellular data from my mobile access point behave opposite my cell phone. They are usually displaying eastern time and that is where it got confusing. All day yesterday my tablet was displaying eastern time. This morning it started to display central time leading me to believe it was an hour earlier than actual fact. No wonder the day seemed to crawl. I have to remember to look at one of the manually set clocks if the time is really important.

The campground continues to be very busy. A few rigs departed and a few arrived. The campers who brought boats got a chance to use them. The boat launch was very busy. I enjoy the atmosphere of the busy campground in small doses. It will be back to the quiet and tranquil atmosphere tomorrow afternoon about when my enjoyment of the active campground starts to wane.
