    Okay----just a little while ago, i was on the porch, and it's a little chilly and misting rain. But, again--here comes T Brown, in his turtle-like pace, headed out back. He barerely glanced at mee & my pett catt, as he passed by. So anyway---here's a couple photos of a busy intersection in Hilltowns' north side. It's along old rte 66, too. (see photos) But yeah, at one time there was one o' those roadside mo-tells, with rock-sided cabins. Prolly built in the 1930's. At some point, it was replaced by another mo-tel made of concrete and cinder block, which was here when I moved here. Seems like there were some shootings there, at various times. But now, it is gone; razed in order to make way for one o' them "Chik-fil-a" places. (no photo available) That's progress, I guess. Ha.

    I'm glad T Brown is doing well. We're on course to have at least 4 new fried chicken places and at least 3 new Mexican restaurants in our town, but still not a single decent seafood restaurant. No Chik-fil-a though.

    TYVM, RR. Like I always say---that's progress! Ha. But yeah---here's another VERY interesting thing: I did purchase a nice, new bike back in 1986. Even drove ta K.C. to make my purchase. I did attempt to shop local, but it didn't work out. It was about $350, which is equal to about a $1000, now. It was an American brand that had been around for decades, but the bicyclist element has a lot of consumeristic types who jump on the latest trend, and want something avante. See? The local Terk dealer has models starting at about $500; at the time, they built bikes for pretty much a niche market. Also, I was a brand loyalist, because my grandpa had been a Schwinn dealer at one time. Yup. So, I got this 1-year only model, a Passage, and put some bar-end levers on it pretty hard. The rear derailleur, a Huret, failed, and the rear rim failed, and I crashed it into a foot-high curb and bent the fork and front wheel. To be continued
