    Pork ribs for lunch, with tomato, cornbread and a steamer of black beans, rice, carrots, broccoli and red bell pepper. Avocado on the side. Cantaloupe appetizers.

    After a siesta and coffees, we headed to Walmart. The Durango showed 95 °F.

    In the egg, dairy and beer aisle of Walmart, we ran into Maylim.

    Maylim and Mary trade Suzette and Leah stories.

    Besides groceries, Mary and I bought color markers and a Dora the Explorer coloring book for Leah.

    Both times, before Mary turned the Durango's ignition key, we paused for a silent prayer. As with the scooter and the television remote, we never know when the Durango will decide to quit on us. So far, two mechanics have failed to find a problem. I'm told that, unless one catches the Durango in flagrante delicto, there's not much I can do.

    77.3 °F, partly cloudy.
