9:05 am. As I write this here in the Wal-Mart parking lot I just looked up and noticed smoke coming from the chimney of a restaurant next door - they must be stoking up the fires for a barbeque. Yep, Uncle Sam's Barbecue "try our slab & two sides - $18.95."
11:08 am. Time to hit the road. Church is out - my boradband connection just slowed to a crawl. Everyone must be on their cell phones catching up on all they missed while at services and making plans to get some of that barbecue. I'm off to the Barber Motorsports Museum.
Later. The Barber was well worth the visit. I spent the afternoon and skimmed a lot of it. Fifteen hundred is a lot of motorcycles to take in!

Float Your Ideals
You have to float your ideals a little off the ground, to keep them from being profaned. And cut loose the misfortunes and insults, too, lest they take root and strangle your soul.
