Life in the City!
I rode in again today, yay! I had a crosswind which was from slightly behind me so it was really a tailwind. I felt really strong, and I'd like to believe it wasn't just the tailwind that made me feel that way. I might have made my best time on this route.
Roadkill report. I keep a tally of live and dead mice I see along the way. Gross, right? Today, I saw a dead fish in a crosswalk. I will never know how it got there. It was 100 feet from the Hudson River, but still, what could be the explanation?
Oh, and two dead rats. I don't know how they die. Do they get killed by some impact, or are they walking and then do they succumb to the poison they've eaten? The City is running a big effort to tackle the rat problem, and poison is part of it.
Life in the City is never dull.
