Insert self
Tomorrow afternoon cannot come soon enough. Anticipation is a difficult thing to master.

Retro: Zion and points south
Off we went, to the mothership of Zion canyon. We went there the day after we got married in Vegas, did our reception there 10 months later, and visit whenever we can. Above, self portrait on Elephant Butte. Below, Bryce Canyon in deep freeze. It might have been above freezing the morning we woke up…

The end of the world, apparently: Ms. West writes with great flair. She has a columnist’s talent for seizing on arresting facts and locating the sort of outrageous incident guaranteed to make the blood boil. She has a sense of humor. What she doesn’t have is a sense of proportion. Nor does she have the…

I’m back!
99% sure the Lev is dialed in, and damn is it a mean mofo. Rides better than it looks, and that’s saying a lot. Hill intervals were in the cards, but my wrist felt good, so I hit 305, which is an interval workout, anyway. Legs feel good. Tahoe will be very fun indeed.

More thinkering
The 508. Huge road ride through the Mojave desert and Death Valley. Massive entry fee, logisitics, waiting list, etc. Why? You never have more than 120 miles between towns, so why not do it self-supported? ‘Course, that opens it to all sorts of other modifications. For one, I’d do it in Janurary, not October. Of…

More
Yeah, I’m Faulknering the Hemingway today, but this blog produced some noteworthy words, reading just now. The most important part of doing any sport safely is knowing what to look for in any situation, and being aware of those clues. For example, a novice paraglider pilot may not equate lenticular clouds with potential high winds.…

Old (a tale to tell)
Friday jellybean came back into our lives. Jellybean is M’s old Dell laptop, who was on an extended visit to the repair shop (good with machines, not so much with people). As opposed to the newish laptop we’ve been using for a while (named poobean for it’s keyboard action and finicky power supply mount), jellybean…
