Sweaty butt

[ariadne3]

I has one.

I decided against going across town (downhill) to go to the Tour de Fat because coming back to fjorlief's house (uphill) in 102 degree weather was less than appealing. I tooled around on the North end of Portland instead, went to visit my ex-housemate at work. He works at The Community Cycling Center at least until October. While there, I purchased a cupholder and really keen bell for my bike (pictures later, I'm way too thrilled about both items,) and a taillight for fjorlief so nobody flattens her when it's dark out.

It was a lovely bike ride despite the heat, and a man I rode past boosted my ego with a "Hey baby! How's it goin!" and a whistle. (Sweeeeet). I grinned and gave him a thumbs up, cause it was goin' thumbs up.

Stopped by New Seasons on the way back to Acorn Cottage. There was a melon tasting and some lovely agua fresca samples, which I helped myself to. Got some lunch and some peach lambic for later, as well as some Fizzy Lizzy soda, which is delightful on a hot day. It also bears the motto "Shake my hips gently before placing to your lips" which makes me really happy.

Spent most of the afternoon either working on my autobiographical cartoon (first assignment for the Master's program is an autobiographical art piece,) or sucked into one of the library books that was in the kitchen.

Soon, as soon as Forrest the ex-housemate gets here, we shall go have sushi which will be much better than cake.

Besides the heat (which I recall while working in a foundry at Eagle Creek), it sounds like an ideal day.

Portland was a lot of fun in Summer.

Cheers!

It was quite a nice day! (aside from the heat, of course.)

Going to Portland again this coming weekend, looks to be milder.
