Al, a few years back, same type of pick-up pulls up next to Dominicks. Frumpy lady gets out of the truck and walks around the front if the truck toward the store entrance. Just as she's about to go through the door, the guy rolls down the window (hand crank, of course) and yells," And don't forget my chips, B!tch." Ah, the redneck life.

Yesterday we drove up to Yosemite, stopped into the ski hut to pick up our winter cache, did a little 4-hour hike, and while hiking put out a smoldering fire ring from which some jackass walked away. I sacrificed all of my clean drinking water, and then filled my camelbak again from the river that was less than 50 yards away to finish it off. So, Yosemite was nice.

JD, the race is about 45min north of downtown Kona. So eating options are kind of relative to your desire to travel or where you are staying. If you are up by the race there are restaraunts near the Mauna Lani Bay resort (http://www.shopsatmaunalani.com/) and nice ones at the resort. I like the Hualalai Grille at the Hualalai Resort, Queen Kaahumanu Hwy very much. If you are in Kona then the family would probably enjoy Huggos, LuLus and Bubba Gump. You would Love Jackie Rey's Ohana Grill up on the Kuakini Highway. Some of the best food in town. Then there's the Lava Java for breakfast or lunch and a wave to us on the beach cam :-)

Tina, in answer to your question, the need for wound care is there because the wound was created when the agressive tumor burst through the skin, and not to bore you or anyone else, ;-) with the medical jargon, there are two possible differential diagnoses of the type of tumor, neither good. But, Mom has a fiesty spirit; when she was in the hospital, some guy (not clergy) kept stopping by her room, wanting to pray over her..she told me that "she wanted to kick him in the shins because he was so annoying!". Classic. Right now, we are about to cook up a big salad and some dead cow. And, thanks, KP, we are hanging in there!

Good quote on that subject follows: "After the first death, there is no other," wrote Dylan Thomas. That doesn't mean the ones that come after won't break your heart, but it's the first that punches your soul's passport. Welcome, fellow human, to a different country than the one you woke up to this morning. The air's different here; so is the scenery. Your knees don't work so well; in fact, you may want to fall to them. For some time, you will be stunned into silence, or shriek, or talk—recounting stories of who he was, what he meant to you, and how it all came to an end. Tell those stories. If you treat yourself gently and take the time you need, someday soon you'll hear the faint but steady voice of your own good sense. Play music you love, sit in the sunshine if you can find some, and if anyone offers you a hand, hold it. Let them feed the cat, too, because they want to be useful. If your good sense does not kick in on its own, help it along: scramble some eggs. It will feel strange at first. But if you pretend that scrambling eggs is normal, eventually it will become normal. Soon you can squeeze some orange juice, too. For some of us the stay in this new country seems endless. But time passes, seasons change, and, truly, would those we grieve for want us to mope? Come with me, back into the world. We'll return to this land someday, all too soon, but in the meantime your other loved ones need you." —Larkin Warren

I was walking sahara down one of the blocks in my hood and as I came closer to the corner of this one block, I saw a sign in the window that said (what I thought) was HUNTER DOGGIE. Well, as I got closer to the corner and more of the second word was exposed from behind a building that was blocking my view of this section, I came to find out that it actually said "Hunter Douglas"...true story.

A beautiful day for biking. Then went for a 2 mile walk with Jan to the French Market and after stopping for the obligatory iced vanilla mocha, made a few fresh fruit, veggies and bread purchases. Also bought her a silver pendant with an amethyst and sea opal.

Did an E3 30 mile ride on the tribike with racewheels. I think this Hed3 in the wind are hard to control thing is overrated. Relax the upper body, keep the cadence high, go with the crosswinds which are 15-20mph in the open today.

TV's, mang! What's up with the TV's thang? If a man buys a big flat screen, he's TV mad; if he invites others over for TV parties, he's a playboy; if he doesn't have a TV, he's a ne'er-do-well; if he doesn't try to get one, he lacks ambition. If he gets one without working for it, he's a parasite. If he has one and doesn't watch because he's busy he's a workaholic. It's a no win situation. I think it ought to be a "don't ask don't tell" thang!!!
