Little Georgia-Mae's breeder contacted us when she heard Indy was going through end of life times. She said she was expecting a litter, and would save the pick for us. She likes how we treat her kids, and are always in contact, etc. No pressure, nothing like that. She just put that offer out there for us. I let her know that if there was a black female in there, we probably would be interested. We were informed that "Blondie" had not had a black female in her line, that she knew of, but there were some there in past generations. Expectations were low, but alas... A black male and female out of the five. Crazy. Meant to be. Don't know. Every one we get is unique, and no single one replaces any other single one, they just get added to the space, and add to the joy they've all brought. I will say, losing my shadow was very hard, and you all get it. She was just always around, wherever I went, yet never on me. That part is tough.
Either way. End of June it is.
What Mrs. LAJ thinks she's named after.....
But, I like this one better.

Went out for a wet ride on the local MUP. Because it was sprinkling it was not too crowded. Most people were not wearing masks, maybe 25% were. I passed a runner (nicely) who was wearing a black bandana mask. He yelled at me as I passed to wear a mask. I said I don’t think cyclists need to. He yelled back something angry but I was too far away to hear. I had to turn around at end of trail, so I was unlucky enough to pass him again. I waved, but he yelled in anger and called me several names that I can’t even say here out of respect for the others, but it was very ugly and unpleasant. I just yelled back “Lighten up Francis!” as it seemed appropriate, although in retrospect obviously I should have said nothing.
Just in case this guy is truly psycho, I changed my strava profile so only followers can see my rides and no one can see me on flyby.
Sigh.

Our grocery store has gotten so that it's fully back to normal, other than the masks. It is a madhouse with no gloves and no distancing. On the plus side, I was able to grab two small bottles of rubbing alcohol. Pools and gyms are opening up. I'm bracing for the fallout.

While re-installing a headbadge a few months ago, I dropped one of the screws three times, and found it almost immediately each time. God was smiling on me.
