bye bye John Peel

John Peel has left the building.

I rode in again this morning. I am very pleased with myself. It's now still dark at 7am, which makes me nervous riding, but perhaps the time change will help with that. I like riding the same route, and noting the changes that come day by day. A house that used to have overgrown bushes, and lots of weeds growing over them now has had all the bushes pulled out and there is lawn (and multiple John Kerry signs), looking very tidy and well-kept. The street person who sleeps in the doorway of the church office was getting up as I rode by. Sara was already at the Community Center gym. And another street person, sleeping on a bench, was sleeping under a great green quilt--every possible shade of green trimmed with this amazing chartreuse. Incredible!
