Summer in Duluth GA

Angie and I took the sports car to one of the many parks in Gwinnett county to walk. We saw signs for "free food / Comida". Being that I am always up for a snack, I decided to see if I could get some. Sure enough, they are handing out Breakfast and Lunch kits. We got a "lunch" and ate it in the park. I was pleased that there was no political literature in the bag only the normal commercial stuff for the products and the company that assesmbled the kits. It was a weird expereince. I have no idea of who these meals were intended for. I entered the Humvee in the Duluth car show. That was fun. It actually won second place in the "pickup" category. Car shows are like that.. somewhat self-congratulating. We signed up for drone home delivery. Although it is very unlikely we will ever use it. This squirrel was particularly tenacious on the feeder.

I am learning Chinese. Yep, thats right. It seemed like the thing to do. Here is a great link for a flashcard program The cat turned out not to have a tumor but a very large fully engourged tick!

It has been a while since I last posted. I put the electric car project on hold for a while. We were having some issues with the male cats (Amos and Archie) so they are no longer in the house. The female cat has a tumor (Amy) on her head so she goes to the vet tonight. The chicken that was sick (broken leg) is all better. That was the first chicken we saved. Often times when they get sick the other chickens will kill the sick one. The chicken culture is harsh, but almost understandable from a physical standpoint. I mean if the sick one is killed it is a flock purification effort. The Arian chicken flock as it were. Chicken Eugenics in action. They are very mean to each other thats for sure. Today it is the 50s. Last week it was 10 below zero (maybe colder). Tommorow it is supposed to be in the 60s!. Here is a picture of me with my new non-beard look at work. And it all goes on.
