Super Dooper Sunday

I overcame TREMENDOUS obstacles, namely a vaguely scratchy throat, odd pains in my head, and draining sinuses, to go on a Dam Ride, modified.

I didn't INTEND (Don't you hate people who capitalize words like THAT?) to go that far, namely, 20-odd miles, but I did. But at a VERY slow pace, mind you.

I decided to pick up cans along the way, what the heck.

Saw a nice rainbow in Santee.

Look closely, it's in there somewhere!

Instead of going through Mission Trails Park on the Father J. Serra Trail, I opted to go UP the hill on Mission Gorge Road, then DOWN the hill to the intersection of Jackson and M.G.Rd., then UP the Jackson Drive hill. In granny gear, of course.

I was waiting for the green at Jackson and Navajo when a bicycle person came up the hill behind me and blew through the red light. Perfectly safe, there were NO cars and it was opposing-turn-green, so there was no way anyone was coming, but I still think it was FREAKING STUPID. I almost caught El Stupido when they stopped a block past the light to un-jacket. Could they not have done that waiting for the light?

I collected at least twenty cans, how many do you see?



I also collected some ouchies along the way.



Grease IS a good antiseptic, right?

It looks like we get around 30.91 miles for the week. Two-thirds of them today.

The Jamis odometer is at 3,594 miles. I believe the vehicle's odometer is very near 3,600 miles. This is significant because:

1. They were purchased with a couple months of each other.
2. It shows how much I'm not driving. (Vehicle had 500 miles on it, ""new".)
   
3. It shows how much oil I'm not using.
4. It shows what an ecological stud-muffing I am. Ha! Not...
