Brief

Weather: Cloudy with a chance of ducks
Scenic views: Two
Hooligans: Feathered


No hooligans tonight, but I have definitively concluded that the pond where a dead body may or may not have been dumped a few weeks ago is home to a veritable fleet of ducks. That's the closest I came to hooligans tonight - just a lot of quacking.

My ride home is mostly uphill, with the last three miles or so following a north-south ridge through Bellevue. Twice along the route, cross-streets offer a passable view of Seattle in the distance. It reminds me of the view of Boston from Robbins Park in East Arlington.

The weather was pretty perfect both coming and going (maybe a little cool this evening), and once again I didn't drop to the lowest chainring at all on the way home. Yay! Unfortunately that's all I've got for you tonight, because I'm going to go DRAW STUFF! Somehow I ended up in a D&D group with not one or two but THREE talented artists, so I'm feeling a bit pressured to draw my character before our next session this weekend.

Ten days till my Boston friends (and fiancee) invade Seattle!
