All's quiet. Looks to be a beautiful day. The week slips away and finally the spaciousness of the weekend arrives. The cat sleeps on the bed. The light slowly rises outside. Tonight, the time changes, so it will be lighter, earlier tomorrow. And we'll have an extra hour of sleep.
Off to help a friend move today. She's a young woman, with two boys, moving out of her home and leaving the boys' father. She's got a lot of challenges ahead and I hope for her the best. She deserves some decent breaks. She's a good egg. After helping with the move, I plan to come home and mulch/chip the leaves in the yard. Today will be the most leaves yet - I've already mulched 11 bags and at 30 gallons a bag, we're up to 330 gallons thus far. Last year it was 885 gallons. With the loss of Sarah's Sweetgum, it should be considerably less this year, but who knows?
The talk of the sports world is the game tonight between LSU and Alabama. I'll be reading, thank you very much.
There are times like this, early morning, silent house, nothing urgent beckoning, that all seems right with the world. I haven't jumped online, haven't got my morning dose of the outside world, don't know who's bombed who, how such and such politician fared at week's end. All the bluster of Wall Street and Washington and the Bible Belt - it all seems far away and innocuous. I am warm. The light is delightful. The leaves on the trees out back are stunning as they thin. The cat sleeps.
I do glance back at Evernote to see what I was reading yesterday at the end of a self-created hectic, rushed day and I come across two things that I remember wanting to read. And both are worth the time:
The first, from The Nation is about urban cycling: http://www.thenation.com/article/163671/rise-urban-biking
The second is from a favorite web stop for me - Disinformation - and it pointed me here: http://tinyurl.com/3gdq8l2
Undoubtedly, I am an anarchist urban cycler! I knew it all along!
