#yegbike commute: warm at +19°C with medium southwest winds.
Traffic weekday medium and maximum annoying, street life out and about. Paths medium busy, bikes abound.
Not a bad riding day.
#earworm is unfortunately still ‘Coward Of The County’ still playing in my head since it was played at work yesterday afternoon. Do I want a song about rape, revenge, and at least grevious bodily harm in my head? No, I do not. It’s not hard to understand.

#yegbike commute: even though the temperature is +15°C, feels hot and humid in the early morning. Winds are light, skies still grey.
Traffic light but weird & annoying, street life medium, paths surprisingly busy.
A bit of a melancholic morning, sorry not to be at the Folk Fest, but the kid is holding up the fort. Hope they are having a good time.

#yegbike commute: neutral temperature of +15°C with light but gusty northwest winds in grey slightly rainy skies.
Traffic surprisingly light, street fairly subdued, only a few walkers on the paths.
Not a bad ride overall, but construction zones require mindfulness with clay mud acting like ice for little tires.
There was an argument going on at a 7-11 parking lot on 97th street, was tempted to calm things down with today’s #earworm ‘We Can Work It Out’, The Beatles.
But I left it alone, just had the song playing in my head.

#yegbike commute: pleasantly neutral +14°C with light southerly breeze in clear skies. Magpies flocking in the skies, along with mosquitoes.
Traffic medium busy, street life very active - Boyle Street was like the daytime.
Paths surprisingly busy, and quite a few other bikes about.
#earworm served up ‘6 Months In A Leaky Boat’ by Split Enz. No idea why the memory bank served that up. At least I love that one.

#yegbike commute: crazy warm at +20°C, with light southeastern winds. Traffic light, but the few cars were driving way too fast. At 6am?
Street life present and shouty, joggers and dog walkers out on the paths.
These fantastic mornings are sometimes too great, as one still needs to be mindful of running reds and stop signs.
The #earworm is built on yesterdays as I substitute the lyrics to Yes ‘It Can Happen’ to the Portuguese lyrics.

#yegbike commute: warm at +18°C with light southwest winds in clear skies.
Traffic blessedly light, street life active, not many other people on the paths today.
What a gorgeous ride this morning, if saddened by the passing of the seasons. But enjoying this while it lasts. More ghosts as passing through the same areas I pass through decades ago.
