The weather has definitely improved lately. I was able to bike to work twice last week, and expect to do so again twice this week. I'll be over 860 miles for the year after tomorrow. Saving gas, reducing pollution, avoiding the traffic on "the bridge", getting almost 2 hours of exercise each day I ride.
Of course, the 860 miles pales in comparison with an acquaintance, Paul, who I talked to last Thursday. He has ridden over 5,200 miles this year!! He doesn't own a car, so he bikes everywhere. He went on a trip around Nova Scotia a couple of weeks ago, which added a few extra miles. Amazing.

Lobster at noon last Sunday -- birthdays to celebrate. Also had steamed clams and beverages of various types, followed up by birthday cake and ice cream. Didn't need any dinner that evening.
Heat finally let up a bit today, with promises for even more relief tomorrow. We'll see.
Managed to break two teeth last night eating dinner. Had a loose filling, I thought, in one tooth that I had mentioned to the dentist about a year ago. Bit into some bread(!) which broke off a piece of one tooth, and then managed to bang that piece into another, breaking that one! Old age setting in?
Trip to the dentist today (grateful for the quick appointment), who patched me up without requiring caps. We'll see how long the patches last.
[I just went to the dentist last week for clean/check, with nothing unusual to report. Guess they can't see into the future...]
Local news that has made it to Boston, and perhaps further. Scary, because it's very near where I work, and anyone at work could have been a target.

Was on vacation. Sorry about that...
Hiked up Mt Washington (in the dark so Jerry could take pictures) and then to the top and down the Great Gulf trail. Hot, humid, and took a while to recover, but better than working.
Bike rides, long walks, ate out almost every night, kept up with the York Singers (concert will be 8/25 in Ogunquit). Didn't see any sharks at Wells Beach when I took a bike ride there, although I did see all the TV station's trucks clogging up the parking lot and streets. York was spared the beach closures, and I'm pretty sure there wouldn't have been any shark bites if the beaches had remained open in Wells.
Back to work. The heat wave continues, and the "greenery" is becoming "brownery"...
