What a paradox we\’ve got here! Weatherwise, things don\’t seem to add up. The temperatures are finally feeling more like Fall. At the same time, there\’s a system out there in the Gulf of Mexico that has high potential to reach tropical storm strength! Not the time to take off for a century ride, that\’s certain.

Currently it\’s moving NE, and if it keeps going that way, New Orleans might feel only minimal impact. The trouble is, those storms, in their own way, are as erratic and unpredictable as tornadoes.

I might go out for a ride later, depending on conditions. I can always \”spin\” in the trainer for a while if it\’s pouring and/or there\’s a strong wind. I hope the weather allows me to ride to the salvage store tomorrow. I think my hamstring might be able to take it now.

Next Monday I go back to work, i.e. my regular job. I\’m still working like crazy on this site, and have been for hours a day during my vacation. Another paradox; or, rather, an oxymoron — a working vacation.

A web site is far from static. Always something to update, delete, or add. I must admit, it adds up to a lot of time. In effect, it\’s a second job.
