Tuesday night.
Oct. 12th, 2021 08:42 pmIt's the forty-second birthday of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which is reason enough to make a post.
Just as much a reason is I've found this new little part of a small park that I've started to fold into my bike rides - it's the tiniest bit north of where I usually go that takes me to the top of a small hill. Except the hill's only small when I come at it going north. There's a steep descent right at the end, so when I turn around and head south, not only is there this wonderfully sharp hill I can coast down for a lovely burst of speed, just before that, there's a moment at the apex when I have this lovely view of the George Washington Bridge through the trees. I imagine in winter, when the leaves are down, the sight's going to be even more impressive.
Also, strongly flavored mint chewing gum is good at helping manage low-level anxiety attacks. I knew I'd bought some for a good reason.
