Because I Thought So
Was out for a drive and drove through the hamlet of Hamlet.
Right after I did this a cop pulled up behind me and asked what I was doing?
How Soon They Forget
My niece has been out of the Midwest to long. She thought she has caught dinner here.

Afternoon in the Park
After the race I went and got the girls and we went out for a picnic in the park. I don't like McDonalds but the girls wanted CHICKEN NUGGETS...CHICKEN NUGGETS...so we stopped there and got them some. While standing in line Savannah asks in her loud little girl voice. "I thought you hated McDonalds?"
Chicken nuggets,apple slices and chocolate milk who could ask for more.

Bix 2009
The day dawned to a cool 65 no humidity and a light breeze. Again I worked at the finish line watching for anyone that looked like they were in trouble after running the 7 miles. Didn't have that many this year.
Some people go all out for watching the Bix
The volunteers heading off to the finish line.
the Genesis Medical Tent. The big ball on top was blown up by a charge nurse. (full of hot air)
All quiet before the beginning of the race
Already drinking at 7:30am
Some air underglass at the River Center
Pace car and the police escort
The official time truck
The bikers
And they are off.. All 19,000

Peeps open first store.
The nation's first Peeps store, Peeps & Co, is coming to Maryland this fall.
These pudgy marshmallow chicks and bunnies have certainly racked up quite a following over the 50 years of their existence, so we can't say we're terribly surprised to hear they're getting their own shop in National Harbor in Prince George's County.
According to the Washington Post, the store -- owned by the preciously named company Just Born -- will be packed with Peeperphernalia including Peeps dressed as Village People, Peep pens, key chains and even fancy china.
And what of the "& Co" in the shop's name? Ah, yes. For those who are not happily drowning in a sea of Peeps, available wares will also include Hot Tamales and Mike and Ike's, two other brands owned by Just Born. Of course the puffy critters will be the star of this show.
