If the Meadester was excited before ... just wait. Keep on biking.; 9/5/10, 8:43 PM

Definitely. You can damage your heart (sodium-potassium pump) to the point of an attack. I get this lecture every time you know who assesses me (and she's always assessing me).

PS Looks like the next cool front heading toward us is already where you are.

Nice pics.; 9/5/10, 10:04 PM

Packed full of corn, another bumper crop;
The hand of labor, slowed almost to a stop,
Releases the earth in sweet repose.; 9/5/10, 10:23 PM

The Barn journal?

not to be confused with The Farm Journal

(Growing up, folks originally from Iowa, they subscribed to this for some reason.); 9/6/10, 9:36 AM

roesch-voltaire said...: Nice photos and good inspiration. A few weeks ago, my wife and I canoed a good stretch of that river, it was scenic but it was hardly a challenging paddle, after seeing these photos, now we will consider the bike trail :); 9/6/10, 10:24 AM
