Times Select is gone, yeah! Many were the occasions when I thought about dropping coin on that function, and while I don’t regret waiting, it’s fun to flip through backlogs of David Brooks. I do think they could do a bit better, seeing that the photos make everyone but Maureen Dowd look like a geek.…

The Immediate Future
I’m calling it as a firm in for the Double Boundary Ride in Taos this weekend. Gotta rally Chad and M, and get the mapping situation figured out.

Headed out this afternoon, 11 days, returning…..? Blogging tbd. When I return, I hope for riding plans in October to be firmed up definitively. Cheers. P.S.
