Had my consult with the eye surgeon today on the cataracts. First one in a little over two weeks, second one two weeks later if all goes well. Amazed at how advanced they've become. Once they replace the lenses, he told me I'd have auto focus, coupled with automatic aperture and shutter control. However if I wanted all the bells and whistles I'd need to step up to the full frame lenses. which are extra

wat.

You're in PA?

Until tomorrow morning! We’re camping in Mt Pocono, and made the drive down to Rockport to access the trail. We rode up to White Haven and back today...about 20 miles I think. Such a gorgeous place to spend time.

Lehigh Gorge is amazingly beautiful!

A light ash is falling around the house, the smoke filled sky is now 100% from horizon to horizon. A reddish-yellow glow, generating little to no shadows, has filled Gary’s world.

Sorry to hear this Gary. I hope you and your friends/family are safe. Praying for some rain for you and no wind!

We’re fine. We live in an urban/suburban area. Our friend who was evacuated just received a phone call from a neighbor who ignored the mandatory evacuation order and stayed behind to save his house, just told her that five houses on her street have exploded. Our friend is on edge (understatement).

@Gary A. I've been following the fires on the news, terrible. Living in a highly wooded area my nose is always checking the air for smoke.

Interesting to see people talk about places I see/hear mentioned almost daily. @JonA_CT You've had some heat and humidity to contend with. Not my favorite cycling conditions I prefer autumn for that.

Sorta like Vets from Vietnam and later ... whenever they hear a helicopter they feel compelled to look up.

Yup. The Gatlinburg fire that destroyed so many homes and lives, the estimated the winds it generated were up to 90 mph in places.

The bassist is the niece of Mike, (Max's human). Gary and Maggie meet Mike and Max most every morning for our walk and Maggie's mud bath.

Mud bath.... I like it!

Not sure if I'm to bring anything home.
Going to message Sister to find out.
