18m: Electric Slide song, by Martha Griffiths<\/p>\r\n
22m: Lola Reed enjoys swimming<\/p>\r\n
26m: My thoughts:\u00a0 Have you ever thought about depaving some ASSphalt, especially on\u00a0 a 95 degree day like today?\u00a0 Call me, I can help, I have a sledge and pick.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Plus, thanks to Northampton drivers for their courtesy.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And, discovering another cherry tree!\u00a0 and another mulberry tree, a big boost during a Pedal People route when the sun is blazing down.\u00a0 Don’t forget to drink your switchel (in a quart jar of water, add a heaping spoonful of honey\/sweetener and apple cider vinegar,\u00a0 a pinch of salt, shake and drink as desired.\u00a0 Then make another one and repeat.)<\/p>\r\n
31m: Eddy Grant sings Electric Avenue. (I said Eddy is from Trinidad but i was mistaken, he’s from Guyana. Anyway, he’s ultra-cute, IMHO, and appears to be a responsible global citizen.
