today the temps were suppose to be so HIGH they
could melt you.  We met some friends EARLY (7 a.m.)
at Holicong Park and went on a 37 mile bike ride.

I ended up getting another flat a couple
miles near our finish. Jim just came &
rescued with his truck me then Michael
figured out the problem later.

Q
later that night we went to Lambertville, NJ.
The skies were ominous & threatened a storm!
S
We came here to the ACME Screening Room.
A “movie theater” in Lambertville, NJ.

“A non-profit weekly independent and documentary film series held in the City of Lambertville’s “Justice Center,” formerly the ACME Supermarket.”

U
the “theater” has a big screen & a couple dozen chairs,
they do offer complimentary seat cushions!

V
We saw the movie QUILL.

The documentary-like story of a yellow Labrador Retriever guide dog for the blind named Quill. We follow Quill from the litter, his selection to become a guide, his life with a foster family until his first birthday, followed by highly specialized schooling in guiding the sightless. He is then paired with a blind man named Watanabe Mitsuru who is at first reluctant to rely on Quill. But Quill’s great patience, gentleness and skill eventually wins him over and they become inseparable friends.

W
this was the sky as we were leaving.
