Hear Ye

Know you, one and all, that I will be missing for about five weeks. We have worked on a volksmarch (10K walk) on Saturday. 216 walkers, thank you. And we closed out the horse racing season at Emerald Downs today (Sept. 30). I must say it was a sloppy track but an entertaining day withal. My betting got worse rather than better as the meet went on. Now I must wait until next April to begin again. Meanwhile we are off on a driving wander: Washington, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Nevada, California or parts thereof. Maybe I'll have some adventures to write about during the trip.
