Where did all the grasshoppers go?

Well….I was going to do one on the meltdown that Trump had over the weekend but I think I’m becoming numb to the idiocy…so, let’s talk about something else. Out on the trail, even though I’m usually kind of zoned out on the bike, I’ve noticed that there are no grasshoppers this year. Once I noticed this a couple of weeks ago, I started counting and I have only seen 5 of them in two weeks…and, if you’ve been a long time reader, you’ve read that there are normally clouds of them in a couple of parts of the trail that coat my t-shirt as I ride by….I just wonder where they went…maybe it’s the hot and dry weather? Who knows? Have never seen so few and I’ve been around a long time. Just a curious thing….

August 1st

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool….slept okay last night and feel okay today but I have an errand to run right now so I’ll have to come back to this in a few minutes…..okay…so it was more than a few minutes…one errand ran into a couple more and I just got back here….I did ride the bike, too, so that took some time…I did get the squeak out of the bike after using a half can of WD-40 yesterday and I just hope it lasts a few days….didn’t really get much done yesterday even though I said a few things so I will have to do better today…still no pain and that is getting more confusing as the days go by…I’m old…it should hurt…oh, well….not much to do today…have everything done I wanted to do except for a few things around here so that will be the goal today…and to watch the race that was rained out yesterday…more later…
