a new record?

 My west coast brother told me that today is "International Cherry Pit Spitting Day."  I guess Independence Day was a tough act to follow.

 Not to brag but I once spit a cherry pit over 90 feet.  I believe that might be a world record.  I should check with Guinness (the records people, not the beer people).  Of course I was living in a tenth floor apartment at the time.  Don't worry, I made sure no one was standing below my balcony.

That's it.  That's all I have for the day after the 4th.  I hope you all are enjoying this long weekend.

On a more serious note, today was my oldest brother's birthday.  He died in 2020, an early victim of Covid.  I loved him dearly and I miss him.
