Lots of traveling

We have a weekend home in the country, about 90 miles north of our home in the City. Since I have no classes or work this week, we drove up on Tuesday at midday. It takes two hours, more if there is traffic. I like the bus better, but she likes the car better, and it's the only way to carry a lot of stuff which we usually have. I thought I had a job fair to attend in the City today (Thursday) but it turns out that it was yesterday (Wednesday). I realized this only a few hours in advance so I had to rush down to the City on a 90-minute bus. She had to drive me to the bus station. Once in the City, I took a subway to Brooklyn. The job fair was two hours long. I headed out, bought food from a pushcar, and moseyed to an open plaza to eat. Then I took the subway to the bus terminal, the bus to New Paltz, and my spouse's car back to the house. I got home exhausted and even allowed myself to sleep a half hour late this morning.

No cycling.

Rats

Only one rat or two through all these travels. Ugh.

I have a friend from Facebook who is now also a local cyclist I know, and now we're Strava friends, too. He suggested that to take care of all these rates, the city should put some rat snakes in the park. So funny. Of course, we know the public would not be happy about, but I would be an exception. I'm not horrified at the sight of snakes. Rat snakes and black snakes are huge but harmless.
