We've got to stop meeting like this.

Coming down Copland Hill on my bike again, deer in the middle of the road again, car coming the other way again. Whoever commented that deer are tasty morsels is welcome to come over here and taste a few. I'll even show you where to find them.

Hop clover and rabbit's-foot clover in bloom, in addition to all that other stuff. Couple of hummingbirds at the nature center, each thought that was one bird too many. Don't know if they resorted to the Kilkenny Solution. Squashed turtles in the road -- watch where you're driving, folks, dammit!

Approx. 41 miles and 3:10 time -- approximate because the be-blasted cycle computer lost its calibration and I had to reset it partly through the ride. Second time this summer. Maybe time to retire the bastard.

I've been drooling over the Bell bicycle computer. $13 at Wal-mart. Odometer, trip odometer, timer, calorie burner counter and a few other things. I want but can't afford right now. It's on my list of things to buy with my first paycheck (if and when that every comes and the money hasn't already been spent on living expenses.)

This one's an Avocet, maybe ten years old, does speed/highest speed, trip mileage/total mileage, and trip time/clock. Very simple, which is really all I need. But it glitches now and then. I think (tech diagnosis mode ON) that it has a problem with the battery contacts or circuit board pads for the mode buttons and loses power momentarily. Funny thing, after exposure to maybe 10,000 miles on Maine back roads....
