7/3 Mission: Meet friends with van and truck (thank you Anthony Cain and Kathryn who's not on FB) at Lowe's to buy and transport 1100 bricks (on sale 4 for $1). Get to Lowe's, spouse drops me off at the garden center to pay for said bricks. While I'm paying, nearly get run over by the asshat who stole an entire shopping cart full of power tools by running out of the store pushing said cart. Then, sashay over to the masonry cage to load, by hand, 1100 bricks. 4 lbs each. Half went into the truck, half into the van. The merry party then drove said vehicles to my house, where we reversed the process into my driveway. I think that I might have muscles in my nose that don't hurt, but I'm not betting on that.

7/4 Happy Birthday, USA. I know we're been having some difficult times lately, but I still love you fiercely and want you to do well.
