AM reading
For your coffee: There must be a few sixty-year-old women in Lusk, Wyoming who recall our startling departure from their town. As Pratt and I stood forlornly alongside the road near downtown, carloads of teenaged girls zoomed past, honking and waving and giggling. They’d go another block, wheel around, and do the circuit again. We…

Days without cars
Everyone should go and read M’s post. This whole truck story has been a catalyst for retrospection and introspection, a good thing. -It’s frustrating that we live in such a car-based world here. Bottom line: going carless would require a profound change in our lifestyle. No choices there. -Cars are expensive. Duh. And totally worth…

Grand Canyon it wasn’t
But running up Glassford Hill wasn’t a bad substitute. I can almost make Topofusion do what I want. What is lost is the commanding position of that 6000′ hill. It’s a very extinct, eroded volcano. On a perfectly clear day like today, one could easily see the San Fran peaks, the western remains of the…

Trapped
By the car. This is why I didn’t impulsively run down to Tucson last night for the SSAZ race/party, and why I’m lurking around home right now. Because a certain car hasn’t (ahem) run in three months, we have no backup method of motorized transport. So, when two days ago our Xterra started knocking and…

Plans
Good advice and encouragment has come my way in the last 48 hours, from Harris and Turgeon in particular. Two guys who are good to have on your side; two guys I’d like to literally follow up hill. So here’s the deal. I’m juggling major goals in two sports through the end of May beginning…

Bike Camp
Beat me up, and beat me down. It was sublime in the old school, Kantian sense. Work today was a struggle to stay awake, and both M and I have been ornery as hell in the last few hours. All part I think of it all sinking in, I reckon. Some data, from Sunday: Cutest…

Get amongst it
Sedona shot from Steve in Alabama, the entrance exam on Airport Mesa. As DH sez: this is what we like. Edit: Today is a bit glamorous, in recent debates. Edit.2: This is also of interest.

Housekeeping
The Arizona Spring Fling planning (on my part) has begun. Should be some good fun. Here’s my idea for a Sedona ride on Saturday. Otherwise, planning for the weekend proceeds. Should be a very, very good time indeed. One day at a time, the year proceeds. Yose, this past fall.

Snipe season
The donkey sent a note, inquiring about future esoteric-masochistic pursuits. Who, when; that sort of thing. The snipe calls. White stuff may well obligate a later start than has been current. Is late April excessively optimistic? Mid-May? In envision a return to the “normal” hunting route, beginning several hours before first light, and calzones afterwards.…
