Ketch-Up Day
How are you? How's your weather? And speaking of:
On the phone weather app, why does the day's forecast never equal the hourly breakdown?i.e. Yesterday's daily forecast showed 65% chance of rain. The hourly showed: 40% at 8PM, 30% at 10PM and 15 % at midnight.
Does anyone else ever wonder about that?
Here's AI's response:
“The daily forecast is basically a ‘chance of any rain happening at all,’ while the hourly forecast is the ‘chance of rain right now.’ They’re calculated differently, which is why the numbers never quite line up — and why midnight sneaks in under today even though it’s technically tomorrow.”

I made mulled apples.
They are super easy to fix.
Recipe: Mix a tsp of cinnamon, 1/8 cup of sugar, 1 tbsp butter, 1 tsp of lemon juice, and a dollop of red sweet wine (optional). Stir it in a crockpot on low heat. Add 3 or 4 cored apples and a handful of pecans, stir until the apples are coated and let simmer for about 45 minutes. Done and done.

I've shown this before, but for anyone who does laundry and doesn't have to cart it up and down stairs, this is such a time and back saver. We use laundry carts instead of hampers. We keep one in each closet, throw our dirty clothes in them, and on laundry day wheel them to the laundry room to wash and dry then fold or hang the clothes on the rod and wheel them back. It makes life so much easier.
