Had lunch at the golf course yesterday. Chris told me there was a golf cart in the lake. I thought the white thing in the water to the right was the golf cart,

No body I know, but they stopped when they saw the camera.

Yes, it is a bad time. When I was really young, my birthday party was at the beginning of December. As I got older, my family would say, they spent a little extra on my combined birthday/Christmas gift or I would get a pair of earrings, one on my birthday and the other on Christmas. One good thing, I never had to work on my birthday.

Edit - I'm old enough for a senior pass, but not old enough for social security.

I have one year to go before I get social security. No birthdays in December but my wife and I will be celebrating our 37th wedding anniversary on December 26th.

So I guess you and I are about the same age Jeff. Chris and I will have our 40th anniversary in March.

Got to Wako just in time for this Cormorant. It's nest building time and I was told he dropped his twig. This is after the recovery.

While my bike was in the shop for the flat, they also changed out my gears and added a chain guard, oops, chainboard.
