I went to campus three days this week. And if that sounds like a complaint, it is not. Looking ahead, I’ll be on campus every day next week. That’s not a complaint, either. I’ll still have to find to do a full week’s worth of work away from campus, as well. It’s going to be a busy one.
I think I’ll take the week off from the site, just to get in all of the grading and the writing and the other stuff I’ll be doing just to keep my nose above water.
So, sadly, this post will be the placeholder for the next week.
Look! Here’s a shot from today’s 20-mile ride.

Just another month or two of riding in the basement. I’m over riding in the basement.
At lunchtime today, I heard them. And then the sky darkened. The light literally, actually, dimmed. And when I got outside …
They flew from the fields to the southwest, over the house, across the road, did a giant loop over Joe The Elder’s place, and then came back for more.
They come and they go, and then they don’t come back the rest of the day. The ideal way to enjoy a noisy, noisy air show.
Catch you on the flip side. (If the birds don’t get me.)
