These bushes were just waiting for me to come by on my last ride on the Cinelli. Took it out one last time, before packing it up and giving it to a friend

USS Carl Vinson - Port of Los Angeles
Hard to see in my lousy photos but crew were lined up across the whole deck/rail of the ship the from as far out as we could see them all the way into port. Fire boats came out to give an escort.

I never liked wearing my dress uniform, so I would volunteer to stand watch in the engine room whenever there was a "man the rails" event. The guys who had families waiting on the pier were always happy to trade.

A two-fer yesterday on the parkway.
First: guy riding a small-wheeled bike (folder?) dressed in a WWII-era Imperial Japanese Army outfit, complete with hat and sword, or a sword cosplay replica, playing what might have been marching music for inspiration. I did not slow to inquire about any of that, my loss, and hope he was enjoying the hundred-degree weather in all that kit.
Second: on a deserted portion of the path a critter off in the distance looked dog-like, running loose. Lost dog? Lost owner? Very fluffy tail turned out to be attached to a coyote, trotting from side to side while heading up the path. As I neared I could see a squirrel in his mouth and he seemed to be either showing it off to me or daring me to chase him for the prize. That's okay buddy, you go off and enjoy.
Third, I guess, was the very pedestrian flat two miles from home--too far to walk so I had to stop and swap tubes, drenching everything in lovely salty sweat. At least I had a tube.
The end.
