Sat 27 Oct

Pet peeve of the day: Buying a lovely box of blackberries which says on the package that it contains 170 g, then measuring them on my food scale at 144 g for the whole package. I thought the packs I bought did not look as full as they should have. Knee is gamey again this morning so I will need to see how it progresses during the day. Tonight is the Moon Walk WI for which we are signed up to do 12 miles. Granted it's on level ground, but I won't push it if the knee isn't working properly. Decided to test the knee by walking to the Farmer's Market and back. Dad is working on Leone's tub surround, so I got to carry all the purchases (beets, cabbages, carrots, peppers) home. Jury is still undecided about 12 miles later today. Tonight we will try the frozen tamales from the Mexican lady at the Green Bay Farmer's Market. Two chicken tamales should be good fodder for a 12-mile walk which I am determined to at least try. Discretion required that I turn around at the 4-mile marker rather than go on to the 6-mile turnaround. My knee is glad I did.
