Who likes a detour? I don\’t; and I had to detour twice on this morning\’s trip to and from the salvage store! On the way to the store, I had to ride about half a mile out of my way to reach the bike path because a train was sitting there. The lead locomotive was […]

Bare arms might be more comfortable in this hot weather. Long sleeves are certainly too hot; but on the other hand, arms unprotected by sleeves are more vulnerable in the event of a crash! News reports frequently emphasize the need for everyone eligible to get vaccinated for COVID-19; and that means bare arms, too. Now
We were spared the “coup de grace” from Tropical Storm Grace; that is, unless she unexpectedly and drastically changes course while over water. The Yucatan and Mexico aren’t so lucky.

HUSH!!! That\’s too loud! I wish I could get everything to hush; or at least to tone it down considerably. Noise pollution is a serious problem these days; and we often don\’t realize how noisy our environment is. Once I sat down for about 20 minutes, and recorded every noise interruption as it occurred; and
