Note
Interesting discussion about ticks and disease on On Point today--worth a listen for folks who spend time outdoors where tick contact is possible.
I feel very lucky to be in an area where ticks are relatively uncommon--at least, very few per year end up on me (2 so far this year, with a good chance there won't be any more, now that it's mid--June.)

Returned to the eye guy today and we fiddled around with some different solutions for my right eye; I think I have something now that will work well enough for the next year. My left eye, corrected, is still really good. I have for many years said to myself that as long as I can run up at Happy Jack and still see the windmills off to the west, I'm doing okay--and I can still see them pretty well.
Day 4 of wind, now out of the west. Can't remember 4 straight days of wind in the summer before, but starting now I will be able to. It was also quite a bit cooler today, struggling to get over 60F. It felt refreshing!
On the other hand, Day 3 of Labor Daze. That is, the task for the later afternoon was to streamer the Day 3 course--which will just happen to be the One Cowboy Relay. Just for the hell of it, I have decided to use control descriptions this time around, and see if all the cowboys and cowgirls like that; presumably nobody was going to show up expecting an Easter Egg Hunt anyway. I was quite happy with the design as I was streamering, but the true test will come when I give it a trial by fire at race speed.
Bitterbrush is in full bloom and at several times I almost swooned, nearly overcome by the enveloping, overwhelming fragrance. Those unaccustomed to it would surely have succumbed. It's the kind of thing that often causes compass bubbles to form.
