Heading south today and half way there I have run into lots of fog. Pretty in these valleys. Oops, I ran out of New York State, now in Pennsylvania. Guess they have cemeteries also. Think I'll get off the 1st exit I come to. Wow, Exit 1, I wonder what it is at the other end of the state? Another WOW, right off the bottom of the Exit, a full size Tim Horton's.

There once was a village of Sodom in Vermont. The new preacher came to town and was not happy with the name of the Village. Repeatedly telling his congregation " I am adamant, that we change the name of this town." the name had to go. So during the following week the town fathers had a meeting and changed the name from Sodom to Adamant, they didn't know what Adamant meant. That, I read in some old Vermont history, but, there still is a Town of Sodom in Vermont. But, Adamant, Vermont also still exists. Winsor V. Welch 1918-1976. Varley L. Birtch 1915-1979. Raymond W.

Just got to sit down on this low wall. Body has had it. Its 11:30AM. I'm now waking up in bed, I thought. Mouth is full of rough stuff, grass. I hear a siren, its the town noon whistle, I open my eyes and I must have passed out as I'm lying down on the grass in front of the stone wall. With a mouth full of grass. I didn't need any chlorophyll. Well, I got a good ½ hour nap anyway...............................I never felt it coming. It was a job walking back to the car. Bottle of cold water and on with the AC full blast. In about 4 minutes I feel fine. But, methinks it best not to continue. That was the first time I have passed out due to the heat. So, headed the car home. I am heat intolerant since a kid. Weakness, Dizziness, cramping(legs) Nausea and extreme heavy sweating. Normally it doesn't get that bad as passing out, but, this time it got away from me. Waste of a full day. At that point I walked 1.3 miles and vacated at 12:15PM Got home at 1:55PM @ 84F Drove 244 miles. 4 flags for the day $15.00 in gas. Another, almost nice day with the dead........................ Best Bill Help keep our dead alive, remember them.
