Greeting, gang.
Another windy day. 47 currently with winds up to 28 mph. Yesterday winds were over 45 mph. One of those days when it's probably a was of time to wear a hat.
Yesterday was rather uncomfortable. I sat outside watching great-grandkids' soccer games. Upper 40s and winds near 40 mph. The things we do for family. Friday was rather exciting. I was riding my bike and getting close to a turn around point when I heard a dog bark. I looked up and 4 German shepherds were very aggressively approaching me (i.e. at a dead run) while barking and snarling at me. I stopped and got off my bike (actually almost fell of) and started backing away while keeping the bike between them and me. After about a hundred yards of walking backwards I finally felt safe enough to get back on the bike. Went directly home and notified the local constabulary. Hopefully they will get animal control involved. These dogs should not have been loose. I'm concerned about what might happen to others. To be clear this was a public bike path and I have ridden it many times in the past. Scared the crap out of me! Back story. Several years ago I was walking out of a store when a dog bit me without warning or provocation. I spent a week in the hospital recovering not from the bite but from a germ in the dog's mouth.
Watched a boring F1 race this morning and just about to watch one of my nieces in a dance competition via livestream.
Gas was down to $2.99 this morning.
All stay safe.
Tom
