The only true highlight of my day was eating lunch at a Noon cookout because the hamburger was delicious.

I spent most of the afternoon watching documentaries and napping, trying to wrestle the tiredness of not sleeping well the previous night. Col. Deeds was all about the day naps but he was so doggone hot on my arm. His fur was wet from me sweating.

I hopped on No. 17 for downtown and grabbed the No. 12 which dropped me off a hundred feet or so from my favorite Chobese buffet dive. It was closed. I walked back toward downtown and am now seated in Arby’s. The AC is out and it’s sweltering. Their ice machine is down and my Coke Zero is warm. However, the service has been super and I feel for the employees who are suffering in the heat.

Downtown Dayton is readying for the annual fireworks I will hopefully be returned back to The Haasienda before any professional fireworks begin so that I can soothe the pooches, Erma, especially, who is greatly terrified by the explosions.

Tomorrow, I have several meetings and then dinner with Laura. I’ve not heard back from Mama Kay to see if she will be joining us.

Hopefully, my Arby’s will be ready, soon. It’s been fourteen minutes and long enough for me to complete this blog post.
