My honey and I went to the City today on the train. Being a senior citizen has a benefit half price fares on the train and then another discount on the city buses.

She was born and raised in the City. We visited her old home and walked around the neighborhood. She remembers the area pretty well.

We visited the big park and saw the Hall of Flowers. That is a giant glass building with tropical plants. The building is hot and humid. There is even a rain storm about every fifteen…

It's great to not have any thing to have to do today. Just kick back and relax..

"Oh honey, would you take down the cover over the tree outside?" I'm glad I have the time to do that.

While I'm out there in front I may as well check the air in the car tires. In fact I should check the tires on all the vehicles. Two hours and ten tires later I now have all tires at the recommended air pressure. That should help increase fuel milage..
