I've had a good morning here in Southern Alabama. Actually, I never thought I'd ever say something like that, but what the hell! It started out with a nice visit from my grand-daughter Shelby yesterday, where we talked about my sad future. She still cares and I'm very grateful.

This morning I wobbled onto the trike and headed towards the ocean. There's some great spots around me down here, all actually within walking distance, but I choose to ride today.

The ocean is what this area is all about and it doesn't disappoint, ever. It's really calming and I love it and I'm really glad to be here.

Then I drove up to the Circle K for coffee. A lot of friendly folks said good morning, with sincerity, and complimented my trike as I sat on the ice cases out front.

I finished up the morning with a breakfast of sausage biscuits and gravy at the local bakery, before coming home.
