Today was a good day but a little hectic: Doris is recovering from her asthma attack last night. Distributed 60 hangers, another 60 to go. Walked 6 miles. Emailed EBRR class report for ServSafe for Food Handler to Prison Professor and Doris. Got my 2024 Release plan. Got a postcard form Geok. Distributing the hangers generated a lots of goodwill, they were willing to pay me for the hangers but I declined. Also they were surprised of my restraining system for the hanger using only a pebble, innovations.
