TBW Daily Diary

A minor traffic accident at Green and Forster this afternoon but serious enough that at least one vehicle had to be removed on a flatbed truck . . . Lots of coming and going despite the heat today; sold another two ship's bells . . . It must have been in the 90s or almost when the Harrisburg Mile began on Front Street this evening at six o'clock . . . Finally received the well-traveled box of wine related items from UPS. A variety of interesting things we will be happy to show you. But two other shipments came as well: the cards from Pictura which have helped fill the shelves and another six copies of the Internet Address/Password logbook which we quickly sold out of around Christmas ($7.95) . . . Back to the hospital tomorrow at nine-thirty for a “procedure” at eleven. Originally Dr. Dowling said this was a quick and routine check-up which should only take a few minutes; suddenly it is a “no food after midnight, no breakfast except for clear liquids, no meds, no etcs.” Sounds a bit more serious than I was expecting . . . And it is rather sobering to realize that those warnings about “the heat and the elderly” now apply directly to you . . .
