The old Universal Welding building just a half-hour’s stroll from Dad’s place now houses a brand new craft brewery. Price of admission for the tour included a choice of one of the Rivertowne’s six draft beers. Owen was not particularly interested.
O at my office
At work yesterday they were asking for pictures to be part of an office display of employees’ grandchildren. I promptly copied this one to the color Xerox without even bothering to ask O’s permission — hope that’s ok?

Nationals 3, Mets 2
The winning final moments of the Washington Nationals/New York Mets baseball game Tuesday night. Charlie says he can just make out the ball, a tiny white smudge beyond third base. It does look as though there’s an outfielder starting to run in that direction, but I can tell you it didn’t do him any good. See the next day’s Washington Post game report. This was my first time at a major league baseball game, thanks to my sports fan friends who took me along. What fun! I took the picture with my cell phone.

Greening Up
After exceeding 90 degrees Tuesday and Wednesday, the rest of the week saw a dramatic greening up. Even “up north” near Gettysburg, I saw a big change, having taken pictures both Wednesday and Saturday of the ridge to the west of the Shamrock Restaurant at Thurmont, Maryland.
