Mo 8/13/18-  Senior Day Illinois State Fair

Up 715am; I noticed that Security Essentials updated and it looks like all I'll have to do is manually update every few days. Without a doubt it's less cumbersome than the commercial anti-virus programs that are available because that junk is chock full of unwanted advertisements.

Partly sunny and temps in the upper 80's. It's possible that I'll take the bike up to the fairgrounds later. 

Watched 'STORIES WE TELL' (Amazon Prime) Canadian actress Sarah Polley presents a fascinating documentary about how she discovered the truth about her biological father. There is only one truth, but there are innumerable perceptions of that truth. 

Watched another episode of 'ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK'. Watching 'GLOW' reminded me that this series was the first one that elevated and celebrated female performances.

1245pm- biked to the Dollar Store for cat mat/ pairing knife/ incense/ Cash For Fairgrounds. They wanted a buck twenty-five to get twenty in cash, so I said NO. Went to County Market and got a buck's worth of Garlic Salt and my twenty....Fuck'em.

Amos north to Yates/ Eastman/ across 9th, then back to 8th straight north. Locked the bike at the 8th St. Entrance.

3 hrs. of walking. Slightly humid, but wasn't oppressive. A New Castle Ale/ A Bud Light/ and a Negro something? Mexican Dark. And, a four dollar handful of fries that were about as good as McD's- my only mistake.  Saw Larry Haas and his wife, but just waved. Don't know why I didn't stop, but....

Biked south thru to Fayette and west to Parkview. 

Downstairs and listened to an African tape and finished 'QUARRY LAST', and into the tub to begin, 'QUARRY FIRST'. 

Watched, 'IT STAINS THE SANDS RED'. After an unexplained epidemic?, a woman has a zombie follow her through the desert outside of Vegas because she's on her period. So odd that it becomes kind of interesting.
