Bike Light


Although I have gone back to work, I have continued my morning bike rides.  Instead of leaving at 7:00am, I am leaving earlier.  This means it's dark out when I depart.  Depending on when I have needed to be at work this week, I have left between 5:30am and 6:00am.  The 6:00am ride is not horrible because of twilight (? term for the light before actual sunrise).  The 5:30am ride is fairly miserable since it's really dark.  Even though there are some lights on the Greenway, it's REALLY dark.  On Tuesday I was on the trail at 5:30am, and there was an insane number of bikers pedaling the same route.  All of them had lights, but only one yelled, "Get a bike light."  Of course, I knew I needed a bike light and looked into purchasing one on Sunday when I figured out the darkness of my morning ride.  Since REI didn't have the one I wanted (less expensive, charges with USB port, three settings) in store, I ordered it online.  I still made my morning route, but I did it in the dark.  My new bike light was due to arrive tomorrow, but it came today.  When I arrive on the trail at 5:30am tomorrow, I will have a bike light.  Now I need to figure out do I use the blinking light or the steady light.  It doesn't matter; I will be a safe biker.  Maybe I should even purchase that red light for the back of my bike.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
