Mesh In the Morning ...

Yes, I rode to work today.

And . . .

It was 71F/22C when I left for work. What's that old saying, "Mesh in the morning, concentration take warning"? I suspect I just made that up, but it is true nonetheless. Today I was grateful my work area doesn't have a window. Keeping my mind on my work would have been a real challenge.

On the way home I had a chance encounter with a friend. He was riding his BMW and came up next to me as I waited at a stoplight. We didn't have long to chat. He asked me if it wasn't a little warm for Hippohands. I admitted to just being lazy. I'm off work tomorrow. Maybe I will take them off. It's not like it's a big job or takes much time. Like I said, I've just been lazy.

Yes, I'm off work tomorrow. It is Harry S. Truman's Birthday. He was the 33rd President of the United States. He was born and raised in Missouri. I think we who work for the State are the only people who have this day off. I love it.

When I got home tonight, I happened to look down as I walked by the recycling bin.

I'm thinking Leo has taken up origami...or, it was simply random. Still, I picked it up very carefully and disposed of it respectfully just in case it was faerie remains. It can't hurt to be cautious.

• 71F/22C and a little cloudy for the ride to work.
• 85F/29C and plenty of sunshine for the ride home.
