Gene updated and expanded the Arbo map to include some of the dog park. He set today's course.

After last night's storms, the trails were wet and the air was humid. I got started while the sun was still behind the clouds. The humidity map for a lot of sweat running behind my eyeglasses and into my eyes. Ouch.

Work commute. It must have been the hotest day of the year. By the time I got home, I was feeling drained.

I relaxed a bit post-commute and clouds moved in. It was still warm, but without the sun I figured it'd be bearable. I jogged around on West Campus. I spotted an indigo bunting and confirmed it by hearing the bird song.

Also, for those of you who pay attention to Mongolia and Mongolian politics, Jeff is in a bit of a crazy situation. Details:

For what it is worth, today's editorial

Work commute.

Temp was 80F at 6:30 a.m., but actually a good bit cooler when I biked to work as some storms were passing through the area.

TJOC-like humidity for a jog on West Campus. I retrieved a marker that hadn't been picked up last weekend. Nice that people didn't take it.

And another report, this one from a national outlet:

MTB on the bike paths with Mary. We went over to the YSI fields , met Sandy, and watched some of the frisbee dog competition. Mary's co-worker is part of the KC frisbee dog group and they had a big tent we could use to get out of the sun while we watched. She also explained the scoring/judging system for the event we were watching (dog athletic ability, catch/drop ratio, something that I can't remember, and "wow factor.").

It was windy and that caused more missed frisbees than you'd have with a calmer day.

I took a mid-frisbee-dog break and did some MTBO legs on the arbo map. The mowed paths were in great shape. I think you could make for a fun MTBO event at the Arbo. I'm not sure it'd be something the Parks/Rec Department would like.
