July 4th

Gregg's visit has been a great excuse for road trips around Western PA. He and I went with Josh and Corinne to see an old-timey banjo band play at Findley's Lake gazebo on July 4th. The lakes here are gorgeous. Afterwards we went to see the fireworks at Mercyhurst Northeast. We got italian sausage sandwiches from a van there, and the cook had the same insulin pump as me. We got showered with ashes on the baseball field from watching the fireworks so close. Getting out of the parking lot was slow going, with all the crowds. A teenage boy cut in front of my car, and, noticing my license plates, exclaimed "I almost got run over by a Texan!" with apparent pride.
