Hardware Haiku in These titles mean nothing.

There is a fantastic old hardware store in downtown LaCrosse called Kroners. It’s right next door to Pearl St. Books. Today this was in the window. I didn’t have my phone but Jim took this picture and emailed it to me. There were a lot of beautiful pictures in LaCrosse today. I should have taken my camera. Pretty flowers and the river reflecting the sky and lots of good dogs- one a young poodle named Finnegan.

We ate at Fayze’s. I had a Greek omelet- their omelets are really good. I had two cups of coffee with half and half. Nice day.

I bought two Philips Roth books, early ones, Letting Go andGoodbye Columbus. I had a nice talk with the woman who owns the store. We talked about Harry and Meghan and Pearl Buck and Philip Roth.

I guess that’s my day. I weighed 170 this morning.
