Great fun in the new location. Went to the steam festival and saw vehicles and trains powered by steam as well as vintage baseball. Went to historic Zoar village and saw one of only two Fink Truss bridges in the US.

Tomato plant
My indoor tomato experiment only yielded 2 tomatoes and seemed to be dying. I put it outside and it seemed to be flourishing last time I looked.

Shoes
My gym shoes got a hole in the netlike material on the top, so I decided to try to put a patch over the holes. Worked pretty well. No need to buy new ones. Yet.

OPC
Had my second day of volunteering at the Obama Presidential Center. I had a great day. I got some time to explore the museum tower while I was there. The pic above is a dog that got brought in to have its picture taken for some reason.
Barack’s little hand print.
I didn’t know there was a cereal for him.
A model of what the White House used to look like before trump paved over the grass and ripped the east wing down.
And finally, the Oval Office as it used to look with no gaudy gold leaf trash everywhere.
