The crosswalk is in a breezeway between a parking garage and office building and there are large speed bumps on either side of it.

I had a driver get mad at me this morning because I shook my head at them after they blew through a crosswalk I was walking in and missed hitting me by a foot or so.

He stopped and asked me if we had a problem. Eventually he said that it was early and he's tired, but he tried.

The fox has since moved to the birdbath.

We were seeing one every day until the big hail storm. This is the second time we've seen one since then. Something dug a hole under the fence to get under the neighbors shed in the last week or two, so I wonder if that's fox-related.

A different, younger fox is on the scene.

I used a day off to take my wife's bike to the shop and then rode it around after the repairs were complete. Her little Riese and Müller is so much fun to ride. I want it.

I got "Dirge Technique" by Le Pain at Waterloo Records this weekend. It is a very fun, poppy record.

I saw a neighbor loading a very small child on the back of their bike this morning and now I want to befriend that neighbor on the basis of "I saw them on a bike once."
