Did something unusual and took a vacation day off today. I just got back from a ride.

Just drove past the new Tesla plant. Thing is huge. To give an idea, we were moving along in the mid to upper 80s.

Personally, I think starting school before 8:30 is uncivilized.

The big events at the Fairgrounds were in Spring (Apple Blossom Festival) and Fall (Apple Harvest Festival) which drew big crowds and caused what we in Arendtsville thought of as "traffic jams."

Just got back from the doctor's office. I lucked out and got 'vacation doc'. The one who actually listens, and actually measures, and doesn't automatically know. My BP today was 100/60. With the normal doc its 120/80, because that's normal for a man my age. Same with pulse rate. 56 today, and 80 normally, because. Such a treat to get vacation doc once per year. I keep hoping......
