Yesterday was not a good day. Fair amount of pain in the guts in the morning, only moderated by the oxy. I did cut some more grass in the afternoon, but had to lie down after. The EF really looks nice today with the grass all fresh cut and the sun shining. The humidity is very low today, so it’s really very comfortable. Pain is at a low level, so I may go to Woolrich to get some pants to wear to Philly to the ACS meeting. I do have a standard dark blue blazer I can wear, so a couple of pairs of slacks in a light color would work with dress shirts and ties in place of a suit.

No baseball- it’s the all-star break. I’ve been watching the Tour de France, which would probably be more interesting if I understood what was going on, other than guys riding fast on bikes. I think they should reduce the motor bikes and support cars travelling with the field. Seems to me to be a disaster waiting to happen.

Political note- every once in a while I hear McCain say something I don’t care for. Like he doesn’t use the internet or email. He’s certainly smart enough- if they could teach him to operate a high speed combat jet from a carrier, he can certainly learn to use a computer. But he won’t. That says something about him I don’t care for.
