CAN This Be Sunday?

Well, let us get the can thing out of the way. I picked up twenty cans, three rocks, and one quarter.

Is it just me, or is this can-thing getting out of control?

Take the Can Poll, down there near the bottom of the page.

Secondly, there seem to be an extraordinary number of interesting links on Fark this morning.

Thirdly, I'm reading Cycling’s Greatest Misadventures this weekend. It's an uneven collection of non-fiction (except one) stories, but I'd recommend it. Some are funny, some are sad. Some are inspiring, in a misadventure sort of way!

Nextly, today's ride pretty much followed Friday's ride, in which I was fairly non-specific in describing the route. It's was 42 degrees Fahrenheit when I took off at 7:45 this morning. It was chillier in "The Box", and even chillier in Santee. I was following a fellow on Prospect when he suddenly made a double u-turn. There was something shiny on the road! I made a double-u also, to see what it was. He informed that it was a 1/4 inch ratchet with a 3/32 inch socket. Coolness! We rode along for a bit discussing tools we had found while riding.

There were a ton of dog walkers at the lake this morning. I saw the lady who carries the dog in the basket, but the dog was running today. I rested at the turn-around, ate a granola bar, and took off my saggy leg warmers, as it was warming up a little bit.

I left the lake at the incredibly steep path that leads up to Baltimore Drive. I passed a lady walking a collie and a Alsatian. I told here they were good-looking dogs. She said, "And well-behaved, too." I replied, "I consider any dog that doesn't bark at me is well-behaved."

The mileage for the week is up to 75.6 miles. So that's it for THIS week, but sadly, not for this year, as it appears there is one more day to go. So the year summary will have wait on the off-chance I MIGHT go for a ride tomorrow.

I might be jinxing it, but I plan to go on what used to be an annual ritual, the New Year's Day Fifty Mile Ride.
