10 miles in the woods, saw this otter messing with this alligator!

The size of the balls on that otter!

100 Miles O.D... Or was it 101. Might've just been 100.1. Not going to burn my coffee over it.

OK, have to non-humble brag today. Did 33 miles at an average speed of 19.2 MPH. Not too horrible for a 67 YO.

Road about 25 miles today. Wanted to go farther but grass cutting and work calls. Today was the first warm humid day. Sweat flowing down into my eyes.

Stopped at one of the murals in town

That means nothing in Seattle. Being originally from NYC, I have remarked that June is SUMMER. I've learned that is not the case in Seattle. Mid-July is more like it. But even so, we have been running 10-15 degrees below normal even for May.

Come on down to central Florida, it’s 90 today, supposed to be 93 tomorrow and 96 on Thursday! Just got back from taking the wife on her daily 10 mile loop through the woods, it was hot even in the shade! No breeze at all. I’m getting up at 5am tomorrow morning to do 50 miles on the road before it gets too hot. Just hope it’s not too foggy, dew point is up around 73!

Dreadful. Absolutely dreadful. We did hit 108F last year, in June actually, and it was coupled by terrible air quality.

But my little story. When my parents purchased a condo in Ft Lauderdale, I quipped that if I were to inherit property, I would prefer a condo in Colorado. Mother was not amused!
