Celebrate your Dad weekend!

After the "best ever" day we had yesterday, today is forecasted to be more of the same...abundant sunshine, 80's, calm and low to no humidity (although the humidity is supposed to be on it's way starting tomorrow). I rode 40+ miles around the familiar cornfields and county roads, which looked a bit unfamiliar as the corn has shot up from a baby stalk to knee high in a week! Amazing.

We're not having earthquakes---but most of you are. I guess after living with them as long as I have, I don't think of them as any real big deal. I even remember the big one when Mom, Dad and Layne were in Paris, Rick was in DC and Steve was in San Diego...so it was just me. That one was scary. If you listen to the news out here though, earthquake-ing California sounds pretty unstable. Did anyone feel any of them in the SF Bay area? Malibu? San Diego?

I've become more confident getting around since the race last week. The road systems are so easy here, (although Marshall's runs East/West vs. North/South which can be confusing at first. There is little to know traffic anywhere around here and every road is bicycle-friendly. Highways, byways, there are no "free"ways. I still have to program myself that if something is >5 miles away, it will be 5 minutes to get there...not 25 minutes.

All of the gasoline here has ethanol (10% or more)---corn---I wonder if my car gets worse mileage because of this? Not that I drive alot. We fill up the tank once a month or so....but we also don't go anywhere in the car. I got way better gas mileage in California. Not sure why?

8 more days. Less until everyone starts arriving. I feel like a little kid. The anticipation...(-:

Mike's taking me out for dinner tonight after his evening ride. I'm off to the field with the small hound, before doing my own ride before I have to be at work. I hope you have a lovely weekend. The sunshine makes it seem like a holiday. And it is. It's Father's day this Sunday...or "Daddy's Day" if you are me. (love you Dad!! have a great time playing in your softball tournament!!)

Have a great one!
