Busy weeks at work. The last weekend in July the Battery D (the Civil War encampent) was at the Fort and yesterday was the Copperman Triathelon. Both very busy weekends. Busy is good.

When R came to work this morning a coyote was by the booth. He had gotten into the trash. Someone left BK trash and he figured it was a drive-thru. Only seen a couple of coyotes in the park this year. And so far, no bear. But bear have been seen on either end of town or the park in the past week.

Thimbleberries are beginning to get ripe. Should be a good crop this year. Bilberries, Huckleberries and blue berries have all been good. Service berries (sugar plums) are also getting ripe. When they begin to rot they ferment - drunken birds.

Not much writing lately, but that's okay, the words will come when there is time.
