This was the view looking back up the street. I had to wait several seconds to get a shot with the road empty. And then I waited for this guy trudging up the street. You wonder where he&#8217;s going, and how he feels about it in the rain. But you only wonder for a moment, because he&#8217;s blurry and still something of an abstraction. <\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;d think more on it if you could make out details of him and his trudge.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/jan23\/jan12.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The composition, then, was entirely a choice.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I like the way raindrops sit on glass.

(Twenty down, 101 to go.) There&#8217;s no point to this, other than to do it, which is the point of everything. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m presently working on two cycling goals, both integral to waiting out the winter and rainy weather. <\/p>\n<p>I have made a spreadsheet, you see, to chart my bike riding progress this year. It shows that I am, right now, well ahead of my daily projections, which is to be expected, frankly. It&#8217;ll only be later in the year when the daily trendlines become a challenge. <\/p>\n<p>The other challenge will be in riding all of those Zwift stages. The ones I ticked off the list tonight were the first ones with slight climbs in them. They&#8217;ll only get longer, and more challenging from here. <\/p>\n<p>Easy night, otherwise. Just trying to glide into the weekend. There&#8217;s only Friday to go!<\/p>\n<p>And I will see you then.
