Jerry was ready with a stack of groceries when we arrived at Tops. One hundred ten bagels, 54 chunks of cheese, with a few boxes of butterfly bandages on the side. Jerry has become a good friend and an important member of the Quest team. He always gets us deals that will save the club money. This week the special was buy one bagel, get one free!
When we placed the order a few months ago, he was very worried about his daughter. After a concussion, doctors discovered three small spots during a brain scan and they feared she had a brain tumor. Today, he told us the good news. No tumor, just three small calcium deposits. While they were driving home from seeing the doctor, Jerry told his daughter. You know the doctor was really nice and didn't tell you the whole truth. You have rocks in your head!
A bit of raking and a long walk were possible before the rain came and dropped the temperature into the forties. It's supposed to stop before morning, but the cold will remain. Perfect hypothermia weather. The great advantage of backpacking in the rain and cold is that we wear all of our clothes and don't have to carry them!
