YIKES - so along with packing for a road trip I'm looking at flights from MAD to LV and LV back to MAD. Seems the only flight BACK is at 7:15AM which will make Monday Night Football in Las Vegas . . . well . . . might as well just stay up LOL
Plus starting to plan for Quebec City and of course Door County - busy summer. Weird - have not even started to pack for Winter Park CO. We are so good at this it's not a big deal.
I remember taking a week to prepare but now? Start tomorrow morning :-)
Today we're taking Gus to Aunt Bee's Summer Camp for dogs. Got me thinking . . . . . I was forced to go to summer camp once. You know what? Summer camp is FOR THE PARENTS to get away from their kids! very clever!
Yea - Gus . . all those times you get us up at 6AM. yea - it's pay back time buddy! He'll be fine since he loves EVERYBODY and all the caretakers BEGGED us to bring Gus back again. The dude is a chick magnet.

We're doing some rather extensive landscaping this summer (the summer of action . . . and vodka) and it might get even more landscapy as we might take out 9 cotoneasters along with the butterfly garden. Still formulating plans.

HA - I was not allowed to be in a group on Facebook page - Columbus What is Happening (or something like that) for arguing with the administrator. Is fluoride poison? or does it help teeth. I was on the "help" side of the argument.
DJ said I have been a little . . . "on edge" lately and we were talking about it. All started when I no longer had city council or water and light!
Seems when you have your finger on the pulse of Columbus for 5 years and then sort of quit cold turkey and have zero input on anything . . . . . I guess I'm feeling a little . lost and out of touch! I can totally understand now how my brother has issues with retiring after creating his own greatly successful company for 40 years. You can't just stop and walk away.

Yesterday was get'r done day with oil changes and so forth on the cruise mobile. Then take Gus to Aunt Bee's this afternoon and HOPE I can golf later as the remnants of the Tropical storm hits Wisconsin.
***********************
Stopped at the Cercis Brewing - very very nice place. The beer is . . craft beer. It's hard to separate yourself from the other 40 breweries in the area but for Columbus it's OUTSTANDING. Did not like their t-shirts (sort of cheapish material and my LARGE shrunk to a Medium and I can't wear it - plus the sleeves are female? sleeves? if you know what I mean . . unless you like showing off your guns with tiny short sleeves.
But the beer is very good and professional beer.

There have been 145 House Primaries in the US the last few months. For the Democrats there has been 65 primaries where there was one woman, one male and no incumbent. The woman won in 45 of the 65 primaries.
For the Republicans there have been 14 primaries with one woman, one man and no incumbent. The woman has won in 3 of those 14.

Hey - did you see that Canopy Growth (CGC), as of last Thursday is now on the NYStock Exchange. The first publicly owned cannabis company on the NYSE.
**********************
Chili sits on 47% of the worlds lithium which is needed for batteries. Yet they are not embracing this as they were burned once before with fertilizer. At one point they were the leading exporter of fertilizer . . . until synthetic fertilizer happened and their economy went belly up!

North Korea holes between 80,000 to 120,000 political prisoners and they are not in wonderful places.
***********************
If anybody noticed the Houston Rockets missed 27 straight 3-pointers vs. the Warriors . . . . that is a
1-72,000 chance.
***********************
DPW has a Parks Beautification Program and we purchased a Sunburst Honey Locust and the Prairie Fire Crab Apple which were planted in Avalon Park in the past day or so! BRAVO DPW!!!

For for a little while blogs will be hit and miss. Probably more photos and less rambling. You know Michael Buffer? The "LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE" guy? Every time he says that, BAM - $68,000 comes his way. It's all he does and he is worth $120,000,000.
Not a bad job. Get all dressed up, step onto a stage or ring, say 5 words, collect money and go home.

So the next you hear from me I'll be in Winter Park CO. Stay tuned.
