Fifth week of the Year 181 (daily updates) Ridvan starts.

         Sunday, April 21st, a red day.

         Saturday, April 20th, a purple day. Bad early morning. Exercising didn't help. Bad morning for Pan. Heat bad, 104+; AQI a tad better. At Surada, but no one to sit and talk with. A wasted day so far; but the last two days were productive. Saw Bryan in CR for a minute before lost connection. We chatted. He's going to be a lawyer.

         Friday, April 19th, a sky-blue day. Less stressed. We'll go out to a restaurant this afternoon. Apparently rained a little bit overnight; more thunder. AQI has been a tad better. Heat is still oppressive. 97° at 13:13. Ridvan starts at sunset.

         Thursday, April 18th, an orange day. Bought my ticket. Stress should go down. Pan surprised at midnight; details elsewhere. It thundered and rained big drops. Lots of bluster, barely wet the ground. I only went as far as 7/11. I needed to focus. Pan slept most of the day but went to Fitness.

         Wednesday, April 17th, a Green Day. The color, not the band. No decision made. I'm able to keep up my exercise regimen and observations. Not much else. Eat? It's been so hot. At least 100 again. Some gusty winds, big drops, not much. Pan came home. Highs of 99-104 this upcoming week; lows 80-82. I'm surviving a steam bath. Meanwhile, it snowed in Missoula and an elephant took a stroll through Butte.

         Tuesday, April 16th, a pink day. Fretted over flights. Nothing decided. Too many options that are either expensive or complicated. Sat in Tower B. Pan working.

         Monday, April 15th, a yellow day. SONGKRAN. Got out to Surada. Spoke to P'Nan, Very hot. 104°. Looked at flights. Sat in Tower B Library with the a/c. Pan is working. Not feeling well.
