A quick ride around the neighborhood this morning, but not really enough. Good exercise, what with the hills, but only 15-20 minutes of riding. Yesterday I went across Prosperity and around one of the neighborhoods over there, too, and that got me up to 25-30 minutes, but going down to the park is even better. I just have to get up a bit earlier, which means going to bed a bit earlier. :-/

In other news, it should be news to no one, but Cox (Internet) Cable sucks. It's been on and off all weekend, requiring constant reboots of our cable modem. But when you go to their website (kludged and bogus as it is), there's no mention of any system problems. Actually, the system status page lists no status at all, which is eloquent in its way...

Edit: I should mention as well that, after the class I took at Spokes, I was bold enough yesterday to fiddle with my brakes, which had not been quite the same since my last crash, and I was able to adjsut them quitre successfully. Very pleased!

yikes!

Went to one place on the way to work this morning to see if I could just get someone else to scan the pages I need. Jizo Bosatsu! They wanted $2.90 a page to scan documents, more if I didn't have my own media to save them on. Forget editing; I should just set up a computer-services-for-people-without-computers business.

I have about 30 pages I want to scan; at that rate it would be *substantially* cheaper just to get another scanner to replace the one that's crapped out (I looked up some reviews of the UMAX Astra scanner by the way--universally reviled; no one seems to have had a good experience with it. No wonder it was on sale.)
