Rain, Rain Go Away
Tropical Storm Fung-wong has been sending alot of rain here for days, so I’ve no news to report. I’ve been hunkered-down at home. I watched the Edmonton, Alberta Indycar race on TV. This wouldn’t have been a good day to travel from

Bicycling in Burnham Park
Today the kids didn’t have to go to school in Baguio Gold, so Nikko and Toni Rose came to visit. They were dressed nicely, so I asked if they’d like to accompany me to Baguio City to check my mail box for their birth certificate copies an
