Beats/feets. Brilliant!
3 years agoAn SVT on the road would make most people frown,
The nurses at the clinic just make Scott lie down.
One minute it's 15o beats,
The next he's up on his feets,
And he pedals 30 miles to the next town.
Without the heat the pictures look like it was a nice ride. Glad you bounced back for your SVT episode like that and are ok.

Welcome to the midwest. I remember pretty violent storms coming out of nowhere quite often in June and July. Short lived usually but with significant amounts of rain. The storms help keep that humidity up.
3 years agoThanks, Bill. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a plant with such a long list of common names. According to the Wikipedia article you linked in, it’s known as dame's rocket, damask-violet, dame's-violet, dames-wort, dame's gilliflower, night-scented gilliflower, queen's gilliflower, rogue's gilliflower, summer lilac, sweet rocket, mother-of-the-evening, Good & Plenties, and winter gilliflower.

3 years agoThat’s amazing that Bill Shaneyfelt reported that he’s stopped in Fat Boy’s where we ate the night before, and now we hear you ate at the unimpressive Abby’s Cafe too. I don’t remember anyone ever commenting that they’d eaten in the same spot that we posted about, and now there are two in the same town and overnight stop. Eerie!
3 years agoVery nice. It probably is temporary - I like to change photos from time to time to trick readers into thinking it’s a new blog so they’ll check it out. I suspect it will last awhile though. Great photo, great day.
3 years agoI'm on your frontispiece, if only temporarily,
Rocky and I on the bridge goofing off quite merrily,
She's Smarter, I'm Dumber,
And that's a real bummer,
We could have been in a film by the Brothers Ferrelly.
If I lived there I would recommend a road called Y 1/2.

No legs to run with, either.
At Abby Lions*, Trapped!!
*This is a one-syllable "lions" to meet haiku standards.
Ah, this brings back a few memories too.
Glad you're in a hotel and not a men's bathroom.
Beautiful shot! And I smile imagining its amusing vocal repertoire.

Wow, glad to hear the SVT episode resolved itself, and I'm super impressed that you continued the ride after that. I think I'd have a tough time making myself finish the day's ride, heat or no heat.
