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.

DJ got me a trumpet for my birthday. My lips are bruised now, but wouldn't you know it, I haven't played a trumpet in 30 some-odd years and I pretty much picked it up and played a bit of a tune. Just don't ask we what I had for dinner the other night. I injured my foot. I am hobbling around at the computer with a trumpet. I seem to have Achilles tendonitis. It is quite painful and if I don't stay off it it can be quite a debilitation. I need to run more. Not just right now, however. Blah blah blah
