Week in Review
Well, here in Lake Troublebegone it was a quiet week. We took down the European ash with sadness, though it was damaged by Japanese beetles. Besides, the Ash Borer cometh, or so says the liberal media. And - besides squared - I had planted it too near the house some six years ago and so this fate was unescapable. The gaping hole in our 'scape is jarring but I expect it will allow more late day sun to visit the back porch. One can scarcely comprehend the gift of a chain saw without having spent years with a hack saw. My, but I felt like the Terminator! Technology gives one the illusion of power.

We did the annual bike ride this week, this one 23 miles from Cedarville to beautiful South Charleston & back in 97 degree heat. We survived; it really wasn’t so bad because there was a breeze and we did have the a/c’d stop in SoCharles. Delightful small town, and I didst gape at the Floyd-ish barber shop complete with old timers who could pass for Civil War veterans. The Presbyterian church was very old and had that typically large expanse of beautiful wood inside (built when wood was cheap and plentiful). Attendance numbers were on the wall: twenty-eight visitors last Sunday, forty-six a year ago Sunday. Andy Griffith numbers.
