I haven't written for a whole month! Shame on me!

On the way home from work last night, I saw a bunch of lightning bugs in all the yards that I passed. It's really distracting trying to ride your bike in the dark while watching lightning bugs. You always catch them out of the corner of your eye and then stare at the spot you last saw them and, of course, they flash somehwere else. Try that at 15mph in the dark. So, if you live in the Austin area, go and take a walk in your neighborhood after dark. It's very soothing (and nicely cool, right now).

Oh, and yesterday was the fifth day in a row (spanning the weekend) that I went to work on my bike. It takes less time now and it gets more difficult to keep my heart rate up while I ride, but I guess that's a good thing. I figure I save around $5 a day by taking my bike (assuming about $0.33 mileage rate). Not bad at all!
