It was a hot August day and the summer was winding down so I decided to drive to the Pine Barrens where I met DrLen whose car was having brake light problems even as we parked near this sign for the safe concrete pipe company and made our way into Hammonton to the Silver Coin Diner where DrLen posed before we explored the menu and Len had the spinach pie as I had the blueberry (Hammonton being the blueberry capital of the world) and banana pancakes with syrup and Len enjoyed his meal as I took this self portrait and tried to get a profile picture of myself and my food when the rice pudding put Len in a better mood so that I could capture this collection sign before we headed to the beach.

We went to Aisler Pond where the life guard stand gave the info but we had to ask why the water was quite so red and then to admire the snack bar and the trash bags as Dr Len settled under a tree and I watched our neighbors try to attract gulls before looking at the tree above me in artistic mode

After the pool was emptied to move the ropes, we drove to Hammonton and recorded the water tower before heading to Toni's Frozen custard stand where they served other foods but I focussed on the custard and then looked at their indoor signage and the napkin holder before heading home where Fred was consoling Jane who had lost her wisdom teeth the day before.
