I am taking a personal day.
Like the title says, I am a man of extravagant wealth this morning - I have time.
Morning ride
It's a Thursday morning. I'm not at work. There is no one who is expecting me to be anywhere for hours. I rode the e-bike two miles in pre-dawn dark to get here. Blissful. I'm drinking very good coffee.
When I finish here, I'll switch bikes and go for a klunk on the old Huffy. I'd call it mountain biking, but we don't have mountains and I plan to stop a lot to take pics.
Speaking of pics...
This pic and the next...
I have a new phone/camera that opens up lots of photo opportunities.
...were taken from the same spot!
Let's do that again.

(Is it still a Texas spiny lizard when you see it in New Mexico?)
I've been deeply immersed in a work project and there's been no time for anything, but now it (that project, at least) is done. And I have a few days to get caught up.
Blogwise, I hope to pound the keyboard and get a few things out. You can look forward to (or dread) the following posts on this blog or 2WheelsMaybe:
- I've now had the Juiced e-bike for a year and I want to report on that.
- We had a quick trip to Taos last weekend and there are pics to share.
- National-Drive-Electric Week is coming up.
- Rad Power Bikes has been on a rampage lately.
- Our warming planet is showing lots of stress.
- The ollas and food-is-free planter have yielded some tasty but tiny tomatoes.
- The cargo bike battles are heating up.
- I hate bumper stickers.
- I love dogs!
- I love birds! (even starlings and grackles)
- I love that crazy woman who married me a while back!
- (And) lots of other stuff has been rattling around upstairs lately.
To my friends, I've missed you all and hope to get caught up soon.
How's that for a tiny tomato?
May you breathe clean air deeply, and calmly. May you be thankful, and may others be thankful for you.
