Larry took Alma and me to an apple orchard, which was about thirty-five miles away. I bought three 'Rome Beauty' apples and a quart of apple cider.

I picked up the motor for the range hood. After studying the new and old motors, I finally rigged the fan to work. The old motor had a threaded shaft and the new motor didn't. I hope I was able to clip the fan blades on the shaft tight enough for them to work okay. I got the hood with the new motor re-attached to the cabinet bottom by laying on the stove and holding the hood with my feet, while I screwed the screws into the wall. One of the gas stove burners pilot lights burnt the bejeebers out of my behind.

I voted today, and most of the local candidates I voted for, have won. It is nearly impossible for me to realize that the "haves" could care less if the "have nots" in this country can't buy toilet paper. I expect the "have nots" to have even less in the future, and more people to become "have not"'.
