Curious time.

Rainy day bike rides are fast becoming my favorites. The days when everything's sharply green and the skies are clear and the air is easy are lovely, but rainy days usually see the park nearly empty. Not entirely, because I'm there to see there's nobody else around. But for practical purposes, it's pretty much just me. And when the people in closest physical proximity are the people on the train running underground, I don't feel bad dipping my mask down to breathe in some fresh air.

I knew I'd get wet, so I put on an old gym shirt and a pair of sweatpants, and sneakers I knew could handle it. Some weeks ago, someone tossed two pairs of shoes - two pairs of shoes in exactly my size. Today I tried a pair on, lacing them up, and came back satisfied with their performance. So now I've got a couple more pairs of casual walking shoes.
