Lost in OK

Woke up feeling pretty low. Spent the day with Tylenol and thermometers. Hope to be back up and running tomorrow.

UCO is putting on a fun event designed to “simulate” the Tour de France on the UCO campus.  All bikers will be riding bikes from UCO’s bicycle rental program, Bum-a-Bike.  The event is open to UCO faculty and staff:

The University of Central Oklahoma invites its students, faculty, staff and alumni to compete in the Tour de Central bicycle relay race at 3 p.m., Nov. 2.

As part of Central’s Passport to France semester of activities, the race will simulate the Tour de France, the annual bicycle race held in France and nearby countries.

The pelicans have been at Lake Overholser for a while now on their way south, but I finally got there at the right time of day for a close shot.

Dawn at Overholser is always really pretty so here are a couple of more runners-up from the same day:

My view at the end of my cycling day.

After almost two months of sitting around with a dead battery, Dominique is revived and happily running. I still love the Mini, but I haven’t really been missing driving a much as I would have suspected. Still, I’m glad to find out that the fix was pretty simple and that I have a car again when I need one.

It is always a little strange running into people from your distant past. Peter and I went to high school together though we never really knew each other. Still it’s fun to see what people have gotten up to 15 years after you knew them.

I hadn’t driven to work since early September and my drive home in traffic reassured me that I don’t miss that type of commute.

Runner Up:

It was just one of those weeks where I felt the urge to check my finger tips to see if bone was showing through. Hopefully, this week will be easier . . .

It was a week of lots of work and very little time in which to do it. I ended up dusting off the good old to-do list to get some organization in my life.

If I was a gum “chewer”, I really don’t know where I would begin.
