It was a wonderful morning to ride a bike. Saw two young mule deer bucks bounding through the high grass near the bike trail. Saw a small hawk or kite hovering like a hummingbird above the levee, searching for mice I guess. Back in town, I ran into a friend as he was dropping his young sons off at daycare. We had a nice chat before I had to get going to the office.

You just can't have a morning like that in a car, can you?
