No balloon races here but we do have a bicycle race today - with a lot of streets blocked off. Had to do some serious zigging and zagging to make it home. Saw some "big time" bike racers unloading from trailers stuffed with bikes and assorted kit.

In our trip this morning I saw farmers cutting beans. Already? Well, I guess it is Sept. Irrigation canals are low now so corn harvest can't be far away. Must be fall.

No coffee yet - wifey's still snoring soundly. I had a slightly elevated temp last night which is better, but still a minor headache. Time to wrap up in a blankey and sleep it off! SW
