Pull Tight

9500 Liberty | Film Synopsis Went to see a premier of this film last night. Regardless of your view on immigration and immigration policy, you should see this film. The social and economic impacts of what happened in Prince William County, Virginia will make you stop and think. The event was hosted by State Representative Lon Burnam and Lt Governor candidate Linda Chavez-Thompson. Eric Byler one of the film makers was also there as part of a panel, which included other community leaders and the Fort Worth Police Dept answering questions after the film. Interesting to see the show in Fort Worth. Fort Worth is very ethnically diverse and has one of the lowest crime rates in the nation. See it, you will be glad you did.

Half way through with radiation treatments today.  Only side effect so far is a set of worn out toilet lid hinges from very frequent use.

Biked past an operating windmill yesterday and was transported back to rural life of  the 50s and 60s.  Some of you will recognize the dipper (ladle) above.  There was almost always one of these hanging somewhere on the windmill frame for getting a drink directly from the windmill as it was pumping.  One used by all with maybe or maybe not a quick rinse.  One of the most refreshing drinks you could have in the day and probably still.

Austin and I went out this morning for the Peach Pedal bike ride starting in Weatherford.  About half way through our 60 mile bike we rode through Cool, Tx.  One way to be cool for a July bike ride in Texas....

For the next 31 weekdays, my days start with a 6:30 AM walk past the lead door into the radiation room.  For the record,  my day would be off to a better start with a shot of espresso instead of being shot with radiation.

The other good news is that I only have 38 radiation treatments and not 44.  So 36 to go.
