Hmmm, I don't think so. It's at itsy, bitsy bird. Hummingbird size. Dark blue to almost black. Always in the tippy top of the tree/bush. But not flying around like hummingbirds. Plus, aren't hummingbirds brown? Tucson is an area for hummingbirds, I've heard. They like the warm weather, just like cyclists!

Maybe Scott will know what bird I'm talking about and chime in.

Beats my sighting! They saw my buddy and I and disappeared instantly.

Oh, by the way, the little blue bird is probably a bluebird. If it has orange on its breast, it is a western, and if blue all over, a mountain.

I tired the bed again for a couple of hours. No, not happening . . I'm doing just fine on the floor.

There was another barrel cactus, with three perfectly formed outgrowths on one barrel. They weren't oddly shaped like these. Since I'd already taken this cactus photo, I thought to myself I would photo the three outgrowths one the next pass through. Have I remembered to look for it at the appropriate time? No . . . of course, it's at the far end of town from me. Hopefully I can get a photo in the next couple of weeks.

Rachael has me beat with the family she caught on camera crossing the path. That would have been a sight!
I'd guess there were at least six javalinas eating, only this fellow was brave (hungry?) enough to hold his ground when I stopped.

All the time I spent roaming the desert back in the late 60s, I only saw a small "squadron" (I think a group is called) one time.

I've never seen a barrel with any outgrowths!

First, we need pictures of the new bike. Second, I think Bruce has the right idea. A Basso, the short bike you should consider. A carbon, it is very light and transported easily. As you know, I had one and loved it, only to abandon for a trike after a crash. It would certainly up your speed with no penalty.
