Better Than TV

It's hard to beat summer. The ride enjoyment rose as the humidity lowered. 33/17.5

I was not alone watching the sunset, many were out.
As Jane Goodall studied her chimps, she noticed that they would slow down as they walked through the jungle. Perplexed Goodall set out to find why. She noticed that the chimps slowed down at the same spot during their walks. Then Goodall noticed that the spot was particularly scenic. We've been gazing at beauty for along time, feeling the calm, soothing waves that come from watching nature and understanding that this is where we come from. Sometimes I wonder if we've evolved or devolved. Our gazing at TV, the mall, cell phones, and computers sure falls short of what's outside.

I was running at Calhoun last night. The water sure looks low these days.

The photos are beautiful HL's. You must have read Jane Goodall's books. I have a lot of respect for her and all her studies with chimps.

One of the great things about being out on a bike is everything you can take in like smells, sights and sounds. On my morning bike commute today I enjoyed fields of freshly cut clover...that is the best smell.
