I admit it was a little unsettling when I looked out the window this morning! How could that happen overnite? And then immediately to "thank god I'm not planning on biking today". But I got my butt out of bed and had a nice jog around the block, just to limber up from yesterdays long run. I had several smiles today provided by the people in cars as they variously react to see you running down the road straight at them. I always give way and head into the slop on the shoulder when it looks like they are not going to be able to move over because of traffic, but it is neat to see how various people react. First there is the good hearted soul who moves over plenty....3 or 4 feet to give you lots of room, and then manages to drive directly through the big row of slush that has accumulated in the middle of the road. Then there is the dear old girl that will slow right down but will not give an inch because it may get her close to the white line, and after all...it is the white line! And then there's my favorite....the exaggerator...the guy who slows waaaay down, and moves waaay over just to let you know how much you have inconvenienced him. No matter how tired I am I give this guy the cheery 'thank you' wave.
And to all you other drivers out there who I pissed off today, or have done so to in the past, or will do so to in the future....Vaije con dios amigos!
Long bike ride tomorrow. Hope for clear skies.
Thats all the wisdom I have for today....wisdom?...lol.
And no things I hate today. With absolutley no excuse I give you only things I love.
And to all my family one more time....thank you, thank you, thank you! What would it be like otherwise?
I wish to dedicate day 42 to my good friend Ron H ....as good a man as this world has produced.

AMEN I say to that!!
Just responding to yesterdays post. I declare that I too hate beets even though I have never tried them. They smell like mildew, why would anyone want to eat them!!! And regarding your quote; I'm with Elly "AMEN to that". I love you.
Actually, I really like beets a lot! They taste amazing and are even better pickled! It's also really incredible how they look when you boil them and the skin just slips off them and they look all rooty and weird, but cool...
