Tortoise by the Street

Tortoise Enjoying the Day

 I managed an 18-mile ride yesterday. I really needed the ride to get my mind in a better place.

Wow. 

The craziness has already begun. 

There was more traffic than usual on my ride. Lots of lawn workers and municipal activity not to mention the trash trucks. There was one stretch where they had dug up the sidewalk to lay new pipes, but of course the sign announcing that was right before the construction and there was not other way to get past except to walk my bike in the street going against traffic. Thanks guys!

With the holiday coming, there are lots of preparations and planning that need attention. Chris and I still have not clarified our in-between Thanksgiving and Christmas plans. There is a ten-day gap where we will either hang around Maryland or come back to Florida (fly or drive?) for a brief time. 

I'm sure we will get it sorted soon.

The highlight of my ride yesterday was the tortoise by the street. It did not seem to mind my presence, which was nice. One thing I like about my Ray Ban Smart Glasses is that they allow me to snap images while on the move. IN this one the pole got in the way. I'm never sure exactly when the image is taken.
