Six-two and even

Dick Tracy’s sign off with his two-way wrist radio from back in the day. Somewhere between a best seller in the B & W daily papers and longer color strips in the larger Sunday paper. We would fight as brothers do to see who got the funnies first and I usually won.

It has been a superlative day. It is coming up on 8:00 pm and turning on AC and ceiling fan so comfort is minutes away. Today for the first time the refrigerated air could say was needed but only just barely.

Got the bike ride in. A ‘hard’ 24 k (15M) in 1:02 which was pretty good as there were slows AND a stop for safety and self preservation.

Early tomorrow it’s the first blueberry picking trip to Bonham. Will check on peaches.

I finally achieved success getting registered for the class at Collin College. What an ordeal. Not that it is that difficult but sometimes things just don’t work the way you think they SHOULD work.

Electronic mail yielded a favorable ruling from Texas comptroller on my request for a waiver of penalty for not filing. I stated that I THOUGHT ‘reporting and paying’ sales tax due constituted ‘filing’ but I was so wrong.

I got signs painted. Well started. These operations especially are taking longer and longer as the ‘perfectionist’ starts shining thru. Very painful at times.

And closing story, true human interest, how is the flu epi impacting strippers?

I wonder this often and worry and then suddenly, a timely article on yahoo headlines breaks. I worry no more and can sleep better tonight knowing how they are faring.

I don’t know but I could be taking a couple days off and the next report could very well be from Fort Worth. I was very fortunate to be selected as one of the volunteers for this years event being held next week WITHOUT spectators. A strong field and no one watching.

I wonder if anyone will cheat?
