Still feeling the effects of the race/cake, plus various warnings from SF about the effect of a change in the G on international economic conditions, have combined to make me feel unduly stressed, since I now feel obligated to not post the daily reading until after the market closes for the day. By which point, I have trouble remembering not only what the morning reading of the G was, but also just what sort of workout I did at my usual 1 pm outing and what clever/amusing thoughts may have occupied my mind and kept it off the discomforts at hand.
But I will try.
I do remember that I added a little extra onto the end of my 13 hill loop, making it the 16 hill loop ("hill" is defined quite loosely, though it does always indicate movement in an upward direction), and that quite early in the loop where I cross Mountain Road there was all sorts of excitement -- a couple of fire engines, an ambuance, a couple of police cars, traffic halted. I correctly surmised that it had nothing to do with me (if I'd already posted the day's upward break-out of the G , then I might have been concerned that they were just keeping an eye on me in case of sudden terminal cake induced obesity). A little further along I came upon the rescue operation, perhaps 10 people escorting a stretcher with someone presumably strapped on, though I couldn't see for sure. But no signs of blood, no screaming, for all I know it was a case of acute pison ivy. Or maybe just a drill in case the terrorists come to Greenfield and start mugging people in the woods.
The only other item of interest is that last night on the way home I killed a cat. Seriously. Just down the street. It darted out and before I could hit the brakes I had hit it. Right by the Williams Farm. The light was on in their house, so I went and knocked on their door, and they opened up, an old couple, very fine people, I've known them for 20 years, and I told them I'd killed one of their cats. And they said they had about 20 "barn cats" and it happens from time to time and there was nothing to be done and don't worry about it. But I still felt like crap.
