4 Jun 2024 – Hello June
Sat: a beautiful day to start the month of June.
While waiting for them, took a walk around EppsOrthodontics,WesmarkBlvd,Sumter soaking in this glorious day.
Way to go for Zuno, the family’s pet to finish his first 5K-Race at the SumterSPCA K9-5K led by #2&Lily with Linn finishing 1st place for her age-group.
Driving to&fro there ~2+hrs in an open-top-jeep directly under the sun was not the best situation for this aging white-hair-head but Zuno loved it – above pix credits to Ellie#2

Chinese-Buffet-Dinner but TopChina is no longer, this time@Blossom,SunsetBlvd,W-Columbia which turned out to be a success especially when #5 wants to have his Bday dinner there – that is what said! Missing Linn who was busy at some graduation and #1 away in GA.
#3 eyes were bigger than his stomach(as my father always said 眼闊肚窄= eyes wild stomach narrow) for this time, despite him usually finishes all the food on his plates! Had a bite for most of the not deep-fried seafood. Extensive selection, not only Chinese – BBQribs,Sushi,LowcountryBoil,Pasta. US$155 for 6ppl. Looks like a popular place with big crowds and waiting lines. Ended the day with card games, only the boys had interest – everybody was busy with their own life.
Sun: @RiverlandHillsBaptistChurch. Lunch@BJ’sRestaurant&Brewhouse and with selections like these, it is no wonder that ppl overindulged. According to BillHicks – if you want to understand a society, take a good look at the drugs it uses. And what can this tell you about American culture? Well, look at the drugs we use. Except for pharmaceutical poison, there are essentially only two drugs that Western civilization tolerates: Caffeine from Monday to Friday to energize you enough to make you a productive member of society, and alcohol from Friday to Monday to keep you too stupid to figure out the prison that you are living in…
Ignorance is a lot like alcohol: the more you have of it, the less you are able to see its effect on you ― Schiller – against stupidity&ignorance the very gods themselves contend in vain.
Mon&Tue: tkx to #3 for driving me to&fro Walmart which will probably be it for this trip round. Getting foods,etc ready&looking forward to my AT-hiking buddies from NC,VA&DC who will be visiting this week. Will be missing Wiggs/VA and MoFo/SC who are not able to make it.
