I’m going green today, for St. Patrick’s Day!
“Going green” sounds like environmentalism; and I don’t know whether you could call me an environmentalist or not. I don’t drive a car; and that means I don’t produce much in the way of greenhouse gases. But that’s not much of a recommendation!
But I’m far from living off-grid; and I’m not sure I even can. Rheumatoid arthritis is affecting my hands; and self-sufficient living, I suspect, means a certain amount of hard physical labor — such as spading the ground for a garden. I’ll have to go green in smaller ways, such as using a bicycle for transportation; and I did quite a lot of that today!
I’m taking a couple of days’ vacation; and I made an early-morning run to the supermarket.
The moon was out; and I enjoyed getting to see it. It won’t be full until tomorrow; but it looks like the weather won’t cooperate with any moon-viewing plans.
After the grocery run, I had a 8:00 am appointment; and I rode to it. After I got home from that, I went for a jaunt on the road bike. The wind had picked up a good bit; and it was from a southerly direction. On the way home I had a good tailwind sometimes; but for the last mile, it was right in my face.
Enough riding for the day? Not quite. After I finished that ride, I readied the hybrid for a trip to the neighborhood Chinese restaurant; and got take-out for lunch.
It’s a good thing I got in some extra miles today. The forecast looks like a wet one!
