The rain sure sounds nice. Poor weeds get a bad wrap -- they manage to thrive and grow even under extreme conditions - I certainly let them grow here. I don't know how you can ride and shoot from the saddle. When I was 6 years old, I was going down a hill on a pebbled tar road and decided to do the "see mom, no hands" routine. I crashed big time and had scrapes and cuts all up and down my body. Ouch! Hope your week is a good one.

Enjoy it while you can; it may just be a headwind the next trip!<br /><br />I saw so many signs of stress in our forests last week. It almost looks like early fall, but the nights are not cool enough yet. It's the lack of water all summer...<br /><br />The bike lane near our place is nearly done, so I might get to explore my corner of the world just like you soon!Snowcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360228352528558176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-37733025987220262692012-08-27T17:22:32.664-05:002012-08-27T17:22:32.664-05:0030 miles, I am impressed.
