I had my fun orientation week and believe me I'll have fun this weekend, but I'm paying $56,000 a year to get a good education.

It was in the 90's today. So no, not yet. I think it was cold last week (50F in the evenings / low 80's for highs).

I think there is a cold front coming tomorrow.

It has not been. It gets crowded when a cruise ship unloads, but they only stay around for a few hours to feed and then are loaded onto trolleys.

At that price, and with that much work, maybe he's in some kind of accelerated program where they do two or three years of college at once.

Wheezing after a steep bit coming up to the summit.
Wuss...what trail did you go up and down? I went up south ridge and down to the road down the steep side, maybe the east side? (not much foot traffic)

The South Ridge is for old people and the handicapped.

We did the North Ridge (up and down) in an hour each way.

Velo asked what our average speed was for the year.

Not sure how he would have that info without a garmin, but to start the e-wanging since I bought my garmin this spring I have 1982 miles at an average of 19.5mph
