It only got into the mid fifties with an overcast sky today. Like yesterday, it wasn't at all windy. I rode three loops South and put the bike up. I dressed warm but my hands got cold. Though it was cold riding today, I saw three other cyclists on the sidewalk South. I also saw a few joggers and walkers. I'm glad I rode today. My son is dropping by tomorrow to visit before we leave town and will likely cut my riding short. Depending on his timing, I might not get to ride at all.

Fatalities - 2026

RIP to the many dead in the wake of the tragic fire that erupted at a bar as mostly young people celebrated the New Year in Crans-Montana in the Swiss Alps. I keep thinking of the many families shattered by this event, including those who will have long recoveries from serious burn injuries.

Deep condolences to all those affected by this tragedy.

Kidney Stones

The removal of the stent was indeed a no big deal. He advised that there might be some passing of blood and discomfort but was more of a might happen more than a will happen advisory. My wife made out on the not really a problem side. A bit of upset stomach following the procedure and some discomfort in her back. Both passed over night and she felt herself the following day.

Fatalities 2025

Native American politician Ben Nighthorse Campbell (Senator and House), Colorado, died December 30 aged 92. He was quite a statesman and was typically a voice of reason; when I saw his name I remembered him from when I lived in Colorado. He was also a veteran and went to the 1964 Tokyo games (judo), though due to an injury he didn't get to compete.

RIP, Mr. Campbell, and thanks for your service. Condolences to your friends, family and loved ones.

I had kept some birthday cards, valentines cards, and grade school sweetheart love letters in a scrap book. I took the time to look at and read each one before I tossed the scrap book a few years ago. Some pretty silly and funny stuff in there. Most of the birthday cards were from relatives that died decades ago. All of the material deserved a look after sixty plus years. I don't know why I kept the scrap book and I'm sure I'd enjoy looking at it in another 65 years :) That's why it hit the dumpster.
