Ad Astra Per Aspera

Sometimes in Kansas we have wind.

Today 17 mph, gusting to 31.

Wind that, when you are on a bike, makes you curse aloud between gasps for breath. Shake your fist at the pale blue empty sky. If you can keep upright with only one hand on the handle bars.

Stopped to move a meandering state reptile out of the road. Partly to keep it from being run over. Mostly to keep it from passing me.

Tail wind on the way home almost made up for the misery of headwind on the way out.

Almost.

And in related home state news...

I want this t-shirt.

Cause I'm a classy bitch.

And you love it.

Lol! That's the exact same site I found that shirt at! I'm serious when I say I'll make that for you and Sarah... now, we just have to figure out what to get her for her birthday
