More Riding

Based on wind direction, we rode north yesterday.  The Sweet Water treatment plant was releasing water up north, near the Amazon distribution center.  It was really weird standing there taking the video, the water was hot.  It was steamy while we were standing there.  I'm at a loss as to why that is.

Going out, it was windy, the gusty kind of wind that pushes a person around some; unless you're riding really heavy wheels.  It was good, we made it up to Cortaro Farms and then turned around.  Going back was nice, it was a tail wind all the way back.  It's the first time we've gone past the distribution center, and it's a very pleasant ride.

The water is being released into the Santa Cruz River.  It's treated, fish can grow in it.  The trees along the river band enjoy the wet.  It smells like laundry, there's no foam, but you can smell it.  It's not an unpleasant smell.

Today we also rode out from the ball fields.  It puts us on the Santa Cruz trail.  It's a longer drive to get there, but we're tired of the Rillito and its bad surface.  We saw this driving out.  It's an Excalibur.   Initially they were built on a Studebaker chassis.  Phyllis Diller loved the cars and had four of them.

Blooming has started.  Part of the trail that is occupied by the steenking yellow bushes has over powering scent.  The ground is yellow from pollen and petals falling on the ground.  Also blooming are the Munro's Globemallow.  They're kind of a scabrous looking plant, but they bloom in profusion.

The New York Times and the twitterverse both are thinking that the orange ectoplasm is going to be indicted any day now.  Of course, this has been said for years now, so who knows.  I do not care what they get him for, I just want that man in jail.

That's it!  Riding and indictment possibilities.
