I had a great day today. I drove over to a local Georgia state park and spent the morning day-hiking. The park usually charges $3 for parking, but on Wednesdays, you can park for free. So, I grabbed my bottle of water and hit the trails. (To read about my day and to see pictures, visit No. Calories Needed and read about my day at George L. Smith Georgia State Park.)

If you are looking for an inexpensive (or free) form of entertainment, consider a state park. Before you go, remember to pack some bug spray (I forgot) and plenty of healthy snacks. I had forgotten how awesome out park system is - and I was amazed that I was the only visitor. (As I was leaving, I did notice a couple of guys fishing, but I’m not sure if they were visitors or employees.) I think I’m going to do a mini-tour of the state parks in our area - and see which ones I like the best.

As for the lost wallet - I have a new driver’s license and, so far, I haven’t noticed any irregular account activity. If you are unfamiliar, I lost my wallet this past weekend - and my social security card was in the wallet! So, as a word of caution, please remember to take your social security card out of your wallet! Go!
