Oooh, my quads are sooooo sore from the 10K! I guess that's good.

I was talking with some AP folks recently about tick-borne encephalitis in Europe. I had the understanding that the vaccine wasn't available in the U.S. It turns out that it is easily obtained in Canada. Unfortunately, we are supposed to take 2 shots one month apart (with a booster at 9 months), so it is too late for our upcoming trip. There is a 2-week rapid immunization schedule that would provide a lower level of immunity, but our travel clinic doesn't want to do that.

On the same topic, I couldn't find permethrin tick repellent/pesticide in Canada, but I was able to get some by mail from REI in the U.S.

Totally unrelated... I had a funny conversation recently with a woman who is a strong mountain biker. She was talking about early dates with men who hear that she bikes, so they want to go out on the trails with her, but they can rarely keep up. According to her, "I HATE having to fake it on dates!!! Ooooh, that hill was SO tough to climb - I had to get off and push my bike. Wow, that log was scary to ride over!!" Etc. :-)))
