Well, the darn trimmer broke, $300 piece of equipment rendered useless over a thirty cent screw. Toro for inquiring minds. Nothing to do now but have a smoke, Uhle's #300 in an MM Country Gent, and a beer, Leinenkugel's Grapefruit Shandy. Keeneland's final card of the spring meet is today but clouds are moving in threatening to spoil the feature race on the turf course.

A third of the way through this bowl of Dorchester in a straight sandblasted pre-transition Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver band and a black ebonite military bit. A can of the unworldly delicious Hansen's Mandarin Lime soda made with pure cane sugar is my drink.
