I walked out the door this morning at 6:30 and was surprised at the amount of sunlight already filtering over the horizon. After what seems like weeks of cloudy, foggy mornings, today's clear blue skies reminded me that we must be starting to tilt back toward the sun again. We had ten riders this morning and a pretty nice Wednesday ride on the levee. Although the wind was certainly more calm than yesterday, it was still a factor, and it made the return trip a bit harder than I would have liked.
Somehow, despite the wonderful weather, I'm feeling tired and lazy and frustrated. There are a whole bunch of guys working out on the roof today, but as far as I can tell nobody is working on the blasted elevators. There are still only two in operation (there are normally six). I just got back from a long walk to find food, since there's nothing in the immediate vicinity of the building. It's still odd to be able to walk across some of the major streets in the CBD at will. Most of the big office buildings still seem to be barely occupied and traffic is extremely light. Under the circumstances, I would much prefer to be uptown!

So... how did you do the "bird" background scene behind your blog? That's the high heat!
Borrowed from the University of Iowa's athletics website and then cleaned it up and changed the color.

there will be about 200 - 300 more around the Shell building on Monday. Shell is having a party on Monday in Lafayette Square. I will probably be stuck making sure their workstations work. If it goes well, then another 700 or so will move back in 2 weeks - Mark D.
