the Ramblin’ entry

Thank you, Jerry Jeff Walker, for making my drive to work much more pleasant (did I mention I sorta fixed my radio? I get the right speaker now. Woot! :grinnod: )

Yeah, ramblin’, scramblin’

We had a freeze last night. It was over eighty many days last week. I give up predicting the weather.

I ran 19 miles last week.
