GOD bless you when UT gives him .25. Has trouble speaking-Says he’s a twin-57 yrs old (looks 87) tell him I’m 69-really-you’re beautiful. Talks to us about God-give him $5-because we are truly blessed. Talk to motorcycle on way out-part of 40 bikers on rd today. Saw a lot yesterday. Stop at Andrews sign-home of Chubby Checker.
