Movin' on Midnight


Here we are at post numero dos and we've only got a few minutes before the deadline (11:32 pm here in Texas). There'll be no long ponderings or fancy editing. This one will more closely resemble those last-minute fillers we are frequently composing right on the page for Southwest Cycling News.

Of course it is always more exciting to push the envelope, to crowd the deadline, pulling an all nighter to finish the newspaper. It happens every issue and I predict it will carry over to this blog as well.

We weren't expecting anything profound and there's plenty more to do tonight before we get to lower those eyelids and doze off to Leonard Cohen as we know him.

No bicycles were ridden on this Tuesday. No brush was cut, no limbs trimmed and no dead wood fed into the chipper either. One looping trip in the Element covered two post offices, the clinic for some lab work and the grocery store. Productive carbon footprint, but a footprint nonetheless.

MaƱana.
