1. My strawberry plant is sprouting! Tiny whitish berries the size of my thumb, but it is sprouting! And the purple pansies are exploding. And one of my tomato plants is bullying the other one for water. And the farmers' markets actually opened last week but I haven't had a chance to go yet.
2. My sitbones are sore from the last three days of bike-riding and trying-out and such. But! I have finallymade the commitment chosen! Skinny tires, matching helmet and all. Plus a crazy lock I haven't figured out how to work yet. I need to go back later in the week to get a rack and panniers installed, and pick out appropriate lighting, and a pump! But I have a bike! And I rode past
melissaagray and
danamae's places on my way home (and then around my neighborhood a bunch after I dropped off my purse at home :) ). Almost four miles! But this feels like it opens up a lot of getting-around-Camberville possibilities for me, and I saw so many people out biking today that I actually felt a part of that community - an extreme newbie, yes, but!

Second, pedestrians are scum. They seem awfully entitled for fragile, slow moving meatbags. They step out into the street without looking. They saunter when they jay walk.
Also bike lanes only offer a false sense of security. Little white lines don't prevent doors from swinging out or a car to swerve into the lane to double park.
Trust no one, suspect everyone.
Oh and have fun!
