I forced myself to go on a little 10-mile bike ride today. I sat around in my bike clothes for at least 30 minutes trying to motivate myself. I am glad I went, but it was hard prying my ass off the sofa. Nothing could get me moving yesterday, so maybe this journal entry will remind me in the future.

I went north of town to Lakeview Lake (still the dumbest name for a lake that I have heard). The ride goes past the Del Monte factory where they make dog food. I hear it is "Kibbles and Bits." That's the same Del Monte that makes people food, now... They sure were cooking the kibbles today, or whatever they do to make the stuff. I can't imagine living near the place. What an aroma!

Wildlife experiences: Tiger Swallowtail butterfly, fish jumping in the lake, 4 vultures in a harvested field. (There are always vultures.)

An old dude passed me on his bike and said, "Too hot!" I agreed. Then I caught up with him and he turned. His legs looked like he had been riding for many years. It was good to see him because I occasionally let myself believe I am too old for _________ (fill-in-the-blank). Obviously, not true!
