Flood Threat Over!

The flood threat seems to have passed!

On Father’s Day we took my parents for a drive down to the river to take a look first hand at the height of the river. The river had dropped substantially from when we last drove under the bridge a week and a half ago.

Perhaps life can get back to normal now–no more waiting on tender hooks to see what was going to happen.

These pictures were taken by my mother from under the bridge on Father’s Day during our drive.




New Bike

Sleek, simple and stylish.
Perfect for trips around town when one speed is all you need.
Nearly maintenance-free drive train.
Coaster brake for consistent, fully-sealed braking power.
Fully enclosed drive train for grease-free commuting.

This is my latest purchase–a new bike–just like I remember when I was growing up. A single speed, brakes on the pedals, simple type of bike. On nice evenings like tonight, it is nice to get out in the fresh air and ride. My parents and my son and daughter all have bikes so there is usually someone to ride with.

This is a picture that my mom snapped last week when my daughter and I finished riding with my dad.
