"And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chulapas. And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'"

An hour well spent in our front yard (to be.) Can highly recommend Swrve durable cotton trousers. And vouch for their thorn proofness.

Hot.

This is how I'm comfortable riding in July thus far.
Sometimes in knickers as well with over the calf Darn Toughs.
While the rest of the nation suffers heat I wish for a little.

How do you keep those laces out of the chain/crank?

How do you keep those laces out of the chain/crank?

Look closely and you'll see the knob closest to the toes is tucked under the first lacing holes.
It keeps them safely away from the drive train, and they are reflective as well.

Mamma hens and chicks are so cute. The only problem with them somewhat free-ranging in an uncontrolled environment is that unless they're super-lucky, the number of chicks tends to gradually decrease over time, and only a few of them make it to teen-age status. It is kind of sad to see them start off with n, then after a while, n-1, a few days later n-2, and so on.

My parents have a few "visitor" families that come by every now and then, so they have some feed on hand to toss when they show up. It's cool to watch the hens let the chicks eat first, and only after they've had their share do the hens have some.

I saw a much better picture as I rode my urban ride today.
The two women on the road side parking grass strip had their backs to me.
That image of the three sharing a late afternoon happy hour facing one another distanced is what I wished I captured.
Unfortunately I interrupted their conversation to ask permission to take a pic.
I should have asked for them to carry on.
Two backsides facing the woman on the porch, in conversation was a much better pic.
Next time, I'll know better.
Still a great glimpse of summer here for the first time.
