Note

Just breeze today, and no wind enough to cause travel advisories to be posted for the interstate. An odd day in that it was cloudy just about all day long, with two very brief, very light sprinkles, and quite cool temps considering it is nearly midsummer--maybe just up to 60F or so.

I ran an 11 km course with 30 controls at Diamond Bay, taking in some of the new area I added on last year. It's the first time the new area has been used by anyone. Cheat grass is still green but is now curing rapidly and it won't be long before it is ready to inflict itself upon socks, and even human flesh! It was a sad day when cheat grass got loose; it has never looked back.

There were enormous numbers at ATVers out, kicking up impressive clouds of dust, surely large enough to be easily visible from space.

I did not see any cows while I was running.

While I was putting on my socks and O' shoes, I listened to a piece on the radio talking about Yoko Ono being recognized as a co-writer of "Imagine". A long time coming. It's one of my favorite songs, as, I guess, it is of so many other people as well.
