Sept. 1 (already?) Run/Walk: Meet at an entrance to the Rachel Carson Trail, a parking lot on Brooker Dr. in the North Hills (map in message)

 Beth and Gretchen have a great plan for Sunday: 

The Rachel Carson Trail through the northern part of North Park, starting from the parking lot on Brooker Drive (aka Conestoga Dr). We can park here (map)

And afterwards we can drive across Perry Highway to Cafe Conmigo (map) for coffee! 

So much was discussed during post-run/walk conversations outside at the ol' 61C last week that I can never do it justice but here goes:

• The donkeys and handsome park rangers (which is first?) in the Grand Canyon
• Cheese from Goat Rodeo Farm, as highlighted in Pittsburgh Magazine
• The unforgettable memories of our lives with children that our children have forgotten entirely
• Martha Stewart - despite being obnoxious, a heroine!
• Mashed potatoes in a box - really not bad
• Wendy in Salamanca
• JCC classes where you can find RG members:  Wendy's Zumba, Group Active, Power with Marsha
• The photo of Gretchen at the Kamala rally (ignore headline) that is probably about to go viral
• Read Empire of Pain
• Watch Jon Stewart's assessment of the Dem. convention
• Michelle's braid
