Can it be too quiet? It’s hard to imagine such a thing; especially when I’m trying to sleep.

But I commented recently that the tropics have been almost too quiet; and today I saw an online article that says, activity could ramp up soon. So we have to stay alert! That sure gets tiresome, though; it’s hard to make hurricane plans when I don’t know when (or even whether!) a storm will set its sights on New Orleans.

Today I tried to ramp up my efforts on the bike. On the way home, I was riding against a 13 mph wind; with gusts up to 20 mph. I made five or six attempts to push my speed to 13 mph in that headwind. I really need it, even if my efforts are short. I’ve got to start somewhere!
