So I used the bike, got suitably impressed by the power of nature, and

I'm accustomed to walking faster when I'm a bit under-dressed -- I
made the fifteen-minute walk to church in eleven minutes the Sunday
before last -- but the first time I tried it on a bike, I learned that
moving faster makes you colder.

But yesterday, I don't think anyone could have ridden fast enough to
notice the breeze he was stirring up.

One fear I have when riding in a stiff side-wind is the moment when a
large vehicle overtakes me and suddenly cuts it off.

The wash is hung and the dryer stuff has been put away; it's time for
a nap. Might go out myself to get my pills in the afternoon. Or
maybe tomorrow; I don't really have time to do anything in the
afternoon, since we eat early and I often sleep until four.
