Blog time 1900 sitting in office.

Slept in until 0730 this morning.  We slept with the windows open so the outside humidity (80%) probably wiped me out.

Nancy left at 0800 for her stationary bike and treadmill at MVP.  I did not leave until 0900.  I arrived at MVP after 5 miles.  I was drenched in sweat.

MVP was empty this morning.  I did the chin-up, pull-up, sit-up routine before heading out.

I biked the 2 miles to Forest Hills Foods.  Bought two cake donuts and a Starbucks coffee.  Read the Alpena and Detroit News before heading home.

At home I showered and shaved.  Today Nancy is having lunch in the dining room.  Took a very short nap.

Left home at 1500 at headed to Meijer’s to pick up a prescription.  After Meijer’s we drove to Dr Santos office on Cherry Street.  Dr Santos is my MG doc.  He gave me a full checkup.  Everything seems under control.

We had dinner tonight at “Shepard’s Grill”.  I had the seafood gumbo and Nancy a Mexican wrap.  Very good.

This and that:

The fires in Maui are terrible.  Massive destruction.

Mi will have an open Senator seat in 24.  A lot of folks are interested.  Hope Trump folks stays out.

Fall is coming.  Noted this morning that I rode over a lot of fallen acorns and walnuts.

Bad decisions by President Biden: getting out of Iraq, forgiving student loans.  Giving Unions a free hand.  Of course his son Hunter.

Tonight we watched an episode of “Coroner”.  Good show.

Nancy headed to bed after the show.  I stayed up and read the WSJ and now am finishing this blog.

On this date in 1938, Ossineke, Mi  GGF Sanborn wrote they had 1/2” of rain.  Julia picked 2 bushels of potatoes, turnips and corn.  (Who on earth eats turnips) 

It is now 2140, temperature is 72 and I am going to bed.
