92 degrees and no rain

Today was a pretty quiet day. We spent another afternoon collecting donations to buy new books for the Northgate Branch Library. As I've said before, it's terrible that a library is reduced to begging to buy books. Have said that, Bi-Lo Grocery Store did a great deal to help with this. They allowed us to set up in their lobby, had the checkers asking folks for donations as they checked out. And the deal was if we collected $1500, Bi-Lo would give an additional $500.00 to the fund. And we did.

Then we had a great dinner at La Altena, a downtown bodega and cafe downtown. Wow, that is good food!

We tried to watch Shopgirl tonight. We really like Steve Martin, but just couldn't get into this one. John gave up before I did - and I guess I probably watched half of it. Just didn't particularly find any of the characters sympathetic, and didn't care what happened to them.

Saturday is a pretty yucky on television in general. I guess we'll be using Netflix a bunch this summer.

Chattanooga's premier waterfront music festival, Riverbend, started last night. I think that's the only place in town that got rain last night, but fortunately for them, it was a brief shower, and at least cooled things off. We haven't been to Riverbend for years (just too hot and too crowded for our tastes), but it is great for the City in many, many ways. And we always want it to be successful.

Two weeks to the beach and counting!
