Julie and I haven't gotten up into the air lately, so no reports from an aerial view. But, we have been biking sime. Todsy, we rode about 8 miles. We started with a taco lunch at a local place. Then, for excitement, we went to buy a pound of salt and 5 pounds of corn meal. (Don't ever let it be said that I don't know how to treat a lady!). Along the way, Julie stumbled onto some cookie mix for snickerdoodles! They are the "standard Air Force cookie".
Now 3 1/2 miles into the ride, we stopped for some fresh-brewed decaf. In the coffeeshop, a table of ladies were playing cards. I like to see these kinds of gatherings. Another time, separate groups were playing cards and quilting. Good stuff.
On our way home, we took a trail through the woods, into a ballpark, and up to a railroad. Sadly, just a half a mile from thst crossing, an 8th grade boy was killed earlier this week. I don't know any of the details, but he somehow was on the tracks at the wrong time.
Fall colors are just starting here. About 10% coverage so far. Black walnuts are falling off. Cool nights are threatening frost. Kids are in school and most of the bugs are dead - life is good.
