I have so much to say but they're all jumbled up altogether right now and thinking hurts my head. So pardon the randomness and lack of flow.
Finally at a computer again... unfortunately I'm at the public library and cannot upload any pictures. Boo.
The days have been going by so quickly that it all the past days become one huge chunk of sights, sounds, and feelings when I look back. The rides have been long but fun, although I know that it's going to get a lot hotter really soon. We already hit 104 degrees when we rolled into Topeka yesterday. Hmmm. If I have to rank the obstacles on the road it'd be (in order) headwind, hills, and then heat. Headwind just blows. Literally. It's already pretty boring when you look to both sides of the road and see nothing but cornfield.... imagine the whole field leaning towards you because of the headwind. That just makes me want to cry.
Today is our day off. We visited a local hospice and spent some time there with the "clients" (what a weird name) there. It was sombering. I never truely realized the extent to which regression affects a person when he/she gets old. Does it feel frustrating to have to be taken care of and dependent like a child again after the prime if your life have passed? I don't know. Aging is something I'm not ready to deal with right now... but then again I guess I have plenty of time.

lots and lots of sun screen, sis. we sure don't want you back like a charocol.
It's pretty hot here too, and the sucky thing is that I have to "relocate" everyday from the museum to my school in the middle of the day, since I have to teach at both places. Probably not as hot as you are there, but still, I don't get to wear shorts and high techy "breathing" jersey and such. And most of the time I don't have time to eat lunch.
Since now you are at "out of service" area, I just want to tell you that summer league here is major fun--our team is mostly grad students, but I think I do better with a fresh team and meet lots of new ultimate players. Caught 3 or 4 scores yesterday (yeah, the most I have done in a game, I'll be honest).
You guys can come and stop by in my place when you are driving back!!
Keep peddling! XD
