Rode to work like a fiend this morning - it was painful pretty much the whole way. However, I only made an 18.8mph average. I guess I should be happy that I can use the word only with that average. I never used to ride that fast.

Lots of excitement in the 'hood yesterday, as the police and forest service folks chased a young female black bear around Cherry Knolls. At one point, the bear was in the back yard of the house across the street from ours. MB actually saw her for a split second through the neighbor's gate. Unfortunately, she didn't pay us a personal visit (I mean to our back yard).
Qwest finally made DSL available to our neighborhood, so I ordered it last week. I got the modem and account information, but the circuit is still not set up. I have to wait until late September for that :-(.

This site will be served from my home before too long. I've got my static IP address set up, so as soon as I get around to moving my domain name, I'll be golden. I'm already serving up a cached (and aged) version of the site at: http://207.225.104.222.

Averaged 19.2 this morning. I really humped it in - almost no "comfortable" riding. My ride in has a long uphill section (not steep, just pretty consistently uphill) in the first half, and is mostly downhill with a couple of little climbs on the last half.
