The charm of rapid travel is not lost on me. It’s just not something I practice. All winter long, my bus system gets me to and from the office with only a couple of hours as penalty. Come summer; nothing really changes.

Better a dry tent than something else. One of our family camping rules. The option of packing after a heavy dew did not beat the other option. Under a bright summer sky, with a stiff onshore breeze, we broke camp and bid farewell to the folk of summer.

Although it doesn’t require much for me to go into town, sometimes the reason is important. Running out of dog food and scoop sacks at the same time; need I say more.

Someone (several someone’s, actually) have commented that my recent blog posts and FB references seem to involve the food industry, a lot. Snarky comments, hinting that I eat more often than necessary. I must reply. All the blame should be attached to a certain smart phone. The GPS only notices restaurants. And when we’re inside, after the initial delivery of iced water, I have been known to refuse anything more nutritious. On at least one occasion…

Memory won’t get you fed. This morning, we remembered that a particular bakery in Montague “did” breakfast. We went on down, and then we learned that things change with the passing years.

How do you remember faces from high school? I mean, once you’ve moved on, not while you still answer to the call of the bell. For most of us, the timeworn tradition of the school yearbook is all we have to remember a lot of people.

Back last week, I was involved in the ordering of a new bicycle. And since the plan did not include riding the new purchase over hill and dale to home, a plan was hatched to provide transport.
