Sounds like the one GPS routing we had--had us on the old Route 15 thru
PA but we were actually on the "new" 15.

Sounds like an Italian one, but no spinach in it, I presume. (G)

 ML> Humidity changed radically lately?

It took a down turn the other day but has gone up again.

I don't, so would rather wear protection on my feet.

I (stationary) biked aobut 2.20 miles in therapy the other day. (G) Done
some walking, but don't think it has been 2 miles at a time. All over
Whole Foods today.

 ML> A good searing on all sides would probably bring

Or throw them on the grill for a minute or so per side.

They beg for other things too. (G)

 ML> Parsley in a dish might be okay, and parsley as a

Or the parsley chef gets a little bit carried away. (G)
