Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Slow night. Everyone must be out looking for the ISS.

It's long gone--you've got to be quick to spot it!

Likely another one of those global things that are globsl as long as you have a USA phone number. They can't even find my location, a city of a million souls. Sad!

But I helped out a young lady, who seemed likely to be a fan of anime, shop for some gloves and afterwards told her thanks for dropping in; she responded with a thanks for the help and a VERY respectful bow. I just about died.

I might have seen it a number of years ago in the boondocks. I wasn't sure how bright it would be with area light pollution.

It was very visible the two times I saw it in urban Philly. The first time was in Avalon, NJ. We were on a high roof deck. Watched it fly overhead then disappear over the Atlantic Ocean. Very cool.

I'm not sure what's happening there, but it can't be good.
