The mighty Susquehanna River.
Got a late start because it was damn cold this morning. Low 40s if not 40. Headwind all day.

Around this time next month migrating eagles will begin accumulating on the river at the conowingo dam, Rte 1.

In no particular order...
Found a dead bee in my left shoe this morning, so at least that's mystery solved.
Despite sleeping like a rock and being depressed as ****, rode really well. No power records though.
Hoping to do my weekly metric tomorrow, but today lacked any motivation and have to move my office into the back bedroom so AG can move into the front bedroom, because it's too inconvenient having her in the open concept area on video calls half the day.
On yesterday's ride I was thinking of Pcad for some reason, and realized that I think his last words to me were "wait, someone married you?". This morning I couldn't help but wonder if he's the lucky one, though I miss the big galoop.
And finally, let me apologize in advance if I melt down in the near future. It is going to be hell in my head..

For Trsnrtr - confirmation that you didn't go wrong is always nice.

Seriously - the first two weeks after the Bay Area went into Shelter In Place, I couldn't sleep. I was taking Children's Benadryl (we call it "Baby Xanax") almost every day. After a month, that went away. I initially thought I was going to drink - A LOT, but my alcohol consumption has actually FALLEN. I don't know what it is, and I don't know if it's healthy or if it's some kind of unhealthy detachment, but I can't stay panicked or depressed anymore.

I was accepted there but went to Pitt instead. Things probably would have turned out fine no matter where i went. Employers pay for what you can bring to the table not what a piece of paper says.

The guy parked next to me says, "Wait - this is a pre-67? Here's what you do. Put it in 4th, but leave the handbrake on" So I do, and he starts pushing on the bonnet, rocking the car forward and back, and then, *SPROING!!!*, and it starts right up.
