errands deserve coffee.

miles: 5 or so

the weather is insane. it does not get any nice or more pleasant than this, honestly. having had the day off i spent most of it catching up on breaking bad, but then it was time to get out and get stuff done. a trip to the store for virgil's rootbeer, a mighty haul of 5 pairs of wool socks, and the post office to mail a campy record BB to some lucky ebay buyer and i was all set with errands.


i stopped by the town green to check out some monuments. i'd say i do this about once a year. today was the day because i was in no rush to go back inside. the grass was lush... and i mean lush. the only time i've ever felt grass thicker than this was on a ranch in colombia owned by a guy who i could only describe as a mix between pablo escobar and panama jack. linen, and lots of it.


after i pedaled about town i head off for some coffee and a nice walk on some sort of greenway trail. it's nice gesture, but hardly what it should be. i thought about the potential of a bike path that would run along the shoreline away from traffic and how bad-ass it would be... and then i thought about how that would never happen here and it bummed me out.


oh well, i guess i'll have to find more dirt roads instead.
