Good morning. It'll be 60s-85F here and breezy. I'll go to church at 8:00. My wife wants to go to a concert of choral music with drums this afternoon. Then I'll have dinner duty.
Enjoy your day.

Good morning.
41F-68F sunny.
I got the hankering for Mexican food last night, that I didn't have to cook, so we went to Los Ocampo's.
Today will be breakfast and shopping as usual but we are taking Shawn and Angie from next door to the Little Oven before we go shopping.

In order to go birding or bicycling at one of these parks or preserves, is one required to be able to pronounce the name?
Cloudy and damp here, partly cloudy later we hope.
Accomplishments yesterday included taking delivery of a vehicle for our daughter. A 2014 Ford Escape, off the lot of a Mercedes - VW - Volvo dealership. The sales guys gave us all the respect and good service as if we were buying a high-dollar European import.
The other accomplishment was assembling a heavy-duty hitch-mounted bike rack. Heavy duty to accommodate Dawn's ebike. I might eventually acquire an ebike; for right now I can still handle hills on my gravel grinder. Possible bike ride this afternoon along the Grand River in a state game area between here and Lansing.

More rain. Going to breakfast at Bannings. Like LJ, I’ll go for the Huevos Rancheros. Meeting the kids and Anita’s folks, after that, no plans. Maybe take a look at the trailer thinking about our trip next week.

I have read that people in Mexico don't celebrate Cinco de Mayo. It is only observed here in the States.

I have read that people in Mexico don't celebrate Cinco de Mayo. It is only observed here in the States. That's probably because Mayonnaise is that common in Mexico. Eric will come by for practice today. We don't have a gig until the end of May, so we can try some new tunes for a change. I want to do the JJ Cale tune "Call Me The Breeze". And maybe "Crazy Mama". |

Before I remembered that it was Cinco de Mayo, I inadvertently had an appropriate breakfast. I sprinkled freshly grated Oaxaca cheese on a large flour tortilla, then added some leftover sausage, then nuked the thing for 35 seconds, then added a pan-scrambled egg, rolled it up, ate it. Viva Zapata.

I'm sitting looking out the window at a beautiful Bass Lake, drinking coffee.
SIL's 60th birthday party yesterday was a great success.
I'll head for home late this afternoon. I need to go shopping for a new washing machine tomorrow.

In order to go birding or bicycling at one of these parks or preserves, is one required to be able to pronounce the name? Yes you are required. At the entrance to each preserve is a locked gate with a voice recognition box. You get three chances to correctly pronounce the name and unlock the gate. If you fail after three tries you get locked out of the system and must apply to the Florida Fish and Game Commission to take a remedial "Preserve Pronunciation class". Costs $75.00. Had a great ride today, went down to the Eagles Nest sink. That's an entrance point to the aquifer cave system. Very dangerous place to dive. There have been a number of deaths including rescue divers trying to save someone lost or trapped down there. There were two guys getting ready to go in. I wished them well and went on my way. Did 16 miles and once again I'm exhausted and well satisfied. |

People in Mexico aren't celebrating today. We aren't either, but Mr. H wants to make enchiladas for dinner and we have all of the parts on hand. People in Mexico may be spending the entire month on religious celebrations. Even if you don't read Spanish, you'll get the idea. www.azcentral.com/story/noticias/2024/05/04/por-que-en-mayo-se-celebra-a-la-virgen-maria/73541936007/Mr. H has requested that we stop to buy him some new walking shoes on the way home from church today. By the time we get our walk done it will be windy and warm, but we didn't get up early enough to allow time for that, breakfast, and a shower before I have to be at choir. Last night before dinner we turned on the A/C for the first time this season. It will probably remain in use until early October. |

I want to do the JJ Cale tune "Call Me The Breeze". I'm not sure what had me searching for this the other day. I think I was trying to figure out who the young kid was and what had happened to him since. |

I have read that people in Mexico don't celebrate Cinco de Mayo. It is only observed here in the States. That's probably because Mayonnaise is <not> that common in Mexico. Except, of course, on elotes. I always order mine without mayo -- the cotija cheese and seasonings, plus just the roasted flavor, are more than enough for me. |

Made fried fresh kokanee and fried taters for lunch yesterday. Delicious!
For dinner youngest son made a family favorite: Tater soup (condensed milk, onions, bacon, oodles of bacon) and fried bread dough with butter and strawberry jelly. Perfect comfort food for our wet weather.
Today has been guitars and coffee. A near-perfect Sunday start.

Good afternoon - I found this article in my icloud - a collaboration. Prolly The Marginalian?
Poetry, music and science are instruments for knowing the world more intimately and loving it more deeply. We need science to help us meet reality on its own terms, and we need poetry/music to help us broaden and deepen the terms on which we meet ourselves and each other. At the journey, we may find a way of clarifying our experience and of sanctifying it; a way of harmonizing the objective reality of a universe insentient to our hopes and fears with the subjective reality of what it feels like to be alive, to tremble with grief, to be glad. Both are occupied with helping us discover something we did not know before — something about who we are and what this is. Their shared benediction is a wakefulness to reality aglow with wonder.
Enjoy your days

Dog walked. Caught an osprey in my Merlin trap. Got the yard cut. Played over an hour on the Gibson. Won all the word games (wordled in three). Tuna salad for dinner. Work tomorrow.
