I have far too many blanks to fill in on this entry as well as the July 4th friends BBQ. Uploading pix has been the hardest part. I’ll get to it in the next 24 hrs.

Bob Hoeksema has been diligent at creating watermarks and shooting the moon with his incredible lens for MK ULTRA. Thanks BH.

I think the best burgers I ‘ve ever had come from Asadoras Argentinas Burgers, in Oswego, IL, which BH turned me onto a year ago. They specialize in Argentinian-style burger. Prices aren’t bad either.
