Eye on the Weekend 👁️
Like so many, I’ve got my eye on the weekend; and for many people, it’s no laughing matter. Quite the contrary, in fact. Things might become scary for them in a couple of days; and much more alarming than Spider Spoke Lights.
Hurricane Rafael isn’t pointing straight towards us at present; but the Tex/Mex border seems to be in the storm’s crosshairs. And that could change at any time; hurricanes can be quite erratic.
So here we go again. Be sure to stock up on non-perishable foods; drinking water; and toiletries. Have flashlights and batteries in stock, too. After Francine, I was without electricity for about 36 hours; and lost a considerable amount of food from fridge and freezer. Naturally I’m not anxious for a repeat of that so soon!
Watch the Storm, Too! 👀
My plan to test a new route fell apart. Was my eye on the weekend more than I though? In addition, I’ve got to watch the storm, too!
I intended to ride out to a point 9-10 miles from home; and make a detour to the salvage store on the way back. Yesterday the forecast predicted a rainy Saturday; and I wanted to dodge it.
So I set out, with my hybrid outfitted with panniers. All of two or three miles out, it dawned on me that I hadn’t brought along my cash! I usually don’t use my FreeToo Waist Pack Bag while cycling; and when I leave it at home, I can easily forget to bring along whatever might be in it.
Although I keep a small amount of money with my cell phone in case of an emergency, it isn’t enough to buy very much; and I didn’t feel like going back home. Try again tomorrow! But don’t forget to watch the storm.

ABOUT ME
I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.
I live in New Orleans; and retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
