What a difference a few hours make! As I write this on a late Sunday afternoon, the sky is gray and cloudy, with at least some rain predicted.
But this
morning—well, it could have been what a local forecaster of some years ago used
to feature as one of “the 10 most beautiful days of the year.” Bright blue
skies, comfortable temperatures and humidity.
A whole
group of guys—it must have been between 15 and 20 of them—thought the same
thing, because they were out on their bicycles in my hometown.
They were
riding single file as they rounded the corner across from me, barely slowing
down. Not that it mattered: at that time of the day and week, traffic at this thoroughfare
is much lighter than from Monday through Saturday.
I could
barely whip out my iPhone to photograph the scene fast enough. Anyway, I was
glad I could time what I did.
