I was up early to get in a few miles and some elevation before it got too hot. It's on its way. 91 and climbing. At high noon.

Lily the Cat and I are watching the Guardians vs Orioles game, two of the top teams in baseball right now. Guardians lead 3-2 at the bottom of the 7th.

Artery repair was like being branded from the inside only without smoke. More ultra sound this morning to check Dr Diab's handi work. Just one more sting and we are done means I have only begun to inflict new pain sensations. Just two more surgeries to go with four nurses starring at my junk as they wash my lower leg with iodine making the whole mess look like a macerated dog chew. Diab works fast and you get to watch the whole thing go down via live fluoroscopy. I counted 16 arc welds inside the arteries on the left foot and lower leg it was a lot less fun to watch than it was cool to watch. Oh well it made for quick morning. Take care folks.

Tree guys were back this morning. They took down the main trunk that was full of bees and they are swarming. Guys been stung a dozen times. The tree was 80 feet tall and almost all hollow. You'll see why I was nervous mowing around it. I can't believe it was still alive and covered in leaves.

Those spots in the trunk are bees.

It's peak raspberry season in my backyard. I have a 2'x 7' garden box for raspberries and blackberries. Started picking a couple weeks ago. Just a handful at a time. I picked about a pint of them today. This will continue for a week, or so, then taper off. Just in time for the blackberries to ripen.

Forgot to post this but Charlie (trailboss) is having issues with his account he can't get the email verification to send to his new email. He had me send a pm to sparks which I did a couple a days ago.

Thanks for the update so we can recall Sergeant Preston and his dog, Yukon King, who have been out searching the highways for him as a lost soul.

I was expecting at least one snake in all the mess.

It's all gone to the woodpile, no snakes found. However, the bees are still searching for the tree.

Just curious— Are you blessed with frequent exposure to good in-person conversationalists?

Not so much. One the blessings(?)/curses of isolated places.

That is to say, shake loose their prejudices and consider new ideas. I notice people tend to take a new idea and break it down into what they already understand and believe. It is hard to accept totally new ideas without bringing our own thoughts into it. This makes progress difficult. I, of course, do not have that problem. Not me. Never. . Suspending disbelief to consider the new is hard for me. So, I take in what is expressed and formulate a model and then try to apply critical thinking to evaluate. Not easy.

It's a new world with new social and cultural ideologies. We can either adapt or be that old man shaking his fists at clouds.

I don't shake my fist, I cry for what's become of our country. More division than ever, citizens that hate everything our country stands for, enemies just waiting like vultures to devour the remains. Wisdom is seated in the young and the traditions of the past thousand years is trash. Everyone decides for themselves what's right or wrong. Criminals in charge of the government. It breaks my heart, and not just me but millions who no longer recognize this country.

We've come a long way and it's not all bad. If you were a woman or minority of any kind you wouldn't want to go back in time.
