Decided that, absurdly hot out or not, I wanted to watch some ducks. Took photos. No sign of Famous Duck, probably moved on to greener pastures.

After that, was thinking about swinging by Rao's for coffee, didn't want to walk around in the hot anymore so went to Atkins instead, got olive oil, local peaches & blueberries, 19th Hole. Was tempted to get Harmony Springs soda but they carry neither the flavors nor the bottles I prefer. Maybe a Ludlow/West Springfield beverage excursion tomorrow.

Drove back via Holyoke to avoid huge mess being caused by closure of section of Route 9, driving up 5 was thinking about talking with the head of the Art Department the other day about rumors about local entertainment dirtbag Eric Suher's plans for the Mountain Park site, learned that it was during her high school prom that the Stardust Ballroom burned down.

Thinking about 'Our Founder', being a person who names things.
