Studies show that giving and receiving "hugs" is beneficial to your health.  Hugs may decrease levels of cortisone linked to stress, lower blood pressure and strengthen the immune system.

Jesus Reyna & son out in their 1969 King Midget Series microcar manufactured by Miget Motors Corporation between 1946-1970 in Athens, Ohio.  Reyna is a classic car restorer and has quite a collection and many friends with custom classic cars.  Their absence was felt today as was the heat.
