Good morning everyone
The potful of Cubano roast is ready and waiting for you...
It's 58°F and clear in Rockville on this Labor Day holiday (in the U.S.; elsewhere in the world it's just another Monday) as the sky begins to brighten ahead of the rising of the sun. Sunny with a high of 82 is expected, and as the air warms the relative humidity will decrease from the current 93 percent to a very comfortable 42 percent around 1700 hours.
I'll take my visually impaired friend to our favorite bike shop today. The pretext is that the shop owner, a longtime friend of ours, has recently been diagnosed with bladder cancer so we're going in order to show our support. The real reason, however, appears to be that by blind friend thinks he wants to get a tandem of unusual design: the stoker actually rides in front on a recumbent configuration, with the captain riding behind on a traditional upright / diamond frame setup.
Naturally, the blind friend would be riding in the front seat, and he's looking for captains to ride with him. He hasn't asked directly, but I'm sure he's thinking / hoping that I'll raise my hand for periodic duty but I'm not at all certain I want to sign up for that so I'm keeping mum on the subject for now.
Before we go I've got some housework to attend to, and some uke to practice. My rate of progress has diminished in direct ratio to the amount of time I spend not practicing. No surprise there, of course.
Stay safe and well everyone and tell your dear ones you love them. Do it today, NOW, for tomorrow may be too late.
