So it’s become my custom to bike out to my PO box whenever the weather’s good (lately it’s been
oppressively hot. Like “Under the thumb of the man” hot.) So this moning, I got out of the
house by noon, the weather was grand, and I was so very proud of myself for biking the five miles
there and five miles back. I picked up my fan mail (Thanks, guys!) and went home. When I got
back, I discovered that I’d left my keys at the Post Office. I couldn’t get in the house to get a
drink, I couldn’t drive the five miles to get them… because it was all my keys.

So I biked twenty miles today. Hooray for me.
