[Today’s run: 6.1 miles]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we did our run in the park area south of town called the Mines of Spain<\/a>. Mining was a thing in these parts a couple of hundred years ago, before the USA became a thing. So the mines were part of Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name reminds me of my very short interest in accordion playing. I don’t remember who had an accordion. But I do remember trying it out and playing Lady of Spain.

(Here’s a guy playing Lady of Spain on a banjo.<\/a>)

It also reminds me of the Lord of the Rings movies and the Mines of Moria. That’s where Gandalf battled with the balrog<\/a>, the highlight of the first film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But today’s run didn’t take us near any mines that we could recognize. A lot of it was on prairie where the flowers were really out doing their thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the run I did a bunch of yard work. I mowed. And then I went to the home and farm store and bought a weed eater. It’s a nice one too. We live on a corner lot and we have a walk from the house to the street. So I’ve got a lot of sidewalks to edge. I have them all looking good now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later I started working on the back yard and the head flew off of the trimmer. In trying to put it back on, I think I messed it up. So tomorrow I have to take it back to the home and farm store and see if they can straighten it all out.
