Lucky

Not owning a car makes for some challenges - like going to a pot luck dinner with some freshly made pot of soup made with fresh ingredients found in the kitchen, like kale and potatoes and zucchini and onions and a few other things. Fortunately I had an old pot that fastened nicely to the luggage rack on my bike with nary a drip.

But on a side note, the local community car share is getting a pickup truck for errands. As a friend once told me: Sooner or later you need a pickup; or a friend with one. This will be good for getting top sil and such for the garden and not needing to borrow the company truck, but instead taking this pickup for a few hours. It is late, but I can still get a garden in the ground.

Today is supposed to be hot. The temp is forecast for eighty Fahrenheit, which is hot for Bellingham. But it is summer and cyclists spring forth on the roads like the horsetails from the ground, replete with cute outdoorsy women that randomly smile and wave to you as they pass by on their bikes, making life in Bellingham a bit more pleasant.
