Because of the condensation on the front of my lens, the stars have halos around them. The halos are large enough to make the colors of the stars readily visible; some are blue, some orange, some yellow, some white.

In Gratitude for Your Support
After finishing my St. Louis to New Orleans (STL2NOLA) bicycle tour on Thursday, I took an Amtrak train to Carbondale. Candy picked me up just before lunch on Friday. Today has been a reset day, only my third in 24 days. Whew! A few people asked me last night and today whether my legs are […]

STL2NOLA 18 – Vicksburg, MS to Roy’s Cabins, MS
I had mentally prepared myself for a long, boring ride through rural Mississippi from Vicksburg, MS to Roy’s Cabins, MS. As has happened consistently on this trip, America delighted and surprised me with non-stop entertainment and amusement. OK, I exaggerate a tiny bit. There were, indeed, hours and hours of pedaling through vast empty fields. […]
