Life on Google

Google is putting Life Magazine photos on line. This is so cool. So many pictures will now be available. This one is from the 1930 archive, on poverty in the south. The woman on the newsprint is selling cellophane. It's an interesting contrast. So, in your spare time, there's new surfing material available for you.



Out to the desert we went today to begin Allison's wind desensitization. Of course it didn't blow much. We rode up and down rolling hills, firmly cementing in our minds why one should not sit around for 8 months.

A cholla (choi-ya).

Trail out into the desert off of John McCain loop.


Jim having a nosh.


We rode through the Gilbert Ray campground an saw this taped on the inside of the women's restroom. Talk about the law of unintended consequences!


Grey ghosts, the mountain bikes are getting a lot of sun.


This is the in-port storage paradigm for the road bikes. My Serotta will go in and fit on the rack which is nice. The Trek and Jim's Serotta have to lean. Not much else will go in there. Bummer.


Anyway, we put 25 mm tires on the Serottas because the roads here are so bumpy, I think it has improved the ride of my bike, it's less squirrley. We'll see, next time I'm in real wind how it does.
Other than that, we have not too much to report. We're doing crock pot red sauce for dinner. Put food in pot, turn on, walk away. Love that.
