Eric was nice enough to drive me back

last month from Lodge of Perfection. I got his number from Cap City list of officers. He said he would be going for both nights and he will pick me up. If he isn't here by 6:30, he forgot. I'll call a cab out there. Its about 14k out. I'm sure he wont forget.

The lead pencil with an attached eraser was patented (1858).

It's said that the average pencil can write a continuous line for 35 miles. In what became known as Seward's Folly. 

If everything works out ok for Wednesday/Thursday I'll have my 15th, 16th, 17th, & 18th degree. Anyway, that's all for now.
