What a difference was yesterday's ride! There aren't a lot of hills
on the route, but the wind was so ferocious that I had to walk a few
gentle grades between Oswego and Leesburg.

One rest stop in Oswego, where I changed to walking shoes, (wise,
because the route from Oswego to Leesburg was entirely upwind, and no
tree or buildings), I stopped just long enough to buy frozen duck in
Leesburg, walked around in Walmart, discovered that their only bench
was occupied, found a courtesy wheelchair at the other entrance and
perched in it just long enough to eat two of the four "pinwheels" I'd
bought. (Good old American food: "Italian style" sandwich filling
wrapped in flour tortillas.)

Then nonstop home, where I arrived bright and cheerful. I haven't
measured it yet, but it's at *least* a quarter century.

And we aren't quite out of April. I'll be going to Spring Creek by
the end of May! I might even go to Mentone.

It's like being sixty again.
