Hardship

Today, with Gustav sending tendrils north, was not so fun. Train in my way, stopped dead. Waited a few minutes, then peeked down the tracks. Intersection a mile down was clear, so had to ride an extra bit, then go fast to make up the lost time. Not so easy with 30 mph headwinds on a bicycle that can only go 25 mph if I am going down a decent hill. Then I got to school and my peach (breakfast) had gone too far. Smelled good, but was pretty mealy and not sweet or flavorful. Choked down half imagining I was starving and needed the nutrition.

Left earlier than normal, too, to get home before any weather. Biking is getting much easier. No admirers today, though.
