"Everything I will need (including laptop!) is rolled into a yellow sack clipped onto the rack."
I don't understand it, and I won't pretend to understand it. I don't get how you can get all your stuff in such a little bag or why you'd want to expose yourself to the elements like that. But it's admirable and the pictures are beautiful. Nina's back in France, and this time she's on a bicycle, traversing 45 miles of Van Gogh country in a day, and getting pictures like this:

It'll be interesting to see if the laptop survives this experience.
I love Nina's travelogues. How does she work her law professor hobby around her traveling job?
The semesters are 14 weeks long. There are 52 weeks in a year. Do the math.
So do you only get paid for 28 weeks' work? Or do they expect something lawproffy scholarly when school's not in session?
If you ranked lawprofs in order of how hard they worked, do you think that the ones who work least are the ones who make the most conspicuous public show of the non-work things they do? I'd bet it's more like the opposite. The real slackers keep a low profile.
Aw. You know I'm just messin' with ya'. Nina, especially with her Polish/immigrant work ethic, puts me to shame.
IIRC, those flowers do more than just look good. They're more sensitive to disease than the vines so they're sort of like a canary in a coal mine.
If I were rich, I'd buy a low mountain by a lake and grow wine on one side and sheep on the other. The wine would be for us and friends. The sheep would be for the Border Collies.
(Okay, the dogs would get some wine, too. Come on! It’s not like I’d be stingy or anything.)
