the first full, 5-day week in a while

Morning:
Interestingly, there was no rain this morning. It was hard to peel my eyes and attention away from the screen before leaving, considering a massive earthquake that hit Japan and the eventual tsunami waves which were en route to Hawaii. I cannot comprehend what that is like but I do know Long Island will be done if we get anything resembling that.
I am reading more about Syd Barrett again, and while it's interesting and I'm sure my wife would like it, I'm so sick of reading about this guy. On the other hand, at least I understand Apollo and Dionysus. I reckon that by the weekend I will have this book finished.
The ride today was really quick and I realized that as I approached the piers my legs started to get tired. I think once I cross the street onto the highway my defenses drop a little against my conscious will. It's a momentary lapse. No big deal.
Over at Vesey Street they were working on its underground and I was actually okay with taking the official detour around the WFC. I've done it at least once before, and while it does take an extra minute or so, at least I'm away from traffic. I re-emerged near WFC 3 and of course there were people taking shots of the reconstruction. I muttered something about how "necessary" these photos were and kept on.
Playlist:
Pearl Jam - "Faithful"
Motley Crue - "Saints of L.A.," "Kickstart My Heart," "Dr. Feelgood," "Shout at the Devil"
Eleven - "Nature Wants to Kill Me"
Down - "There's Something On My Side"

Evening:
This was in my head. This is what happens when you refill at Starbucks 20 minutes before you hop on a bike. Yeah, I flew. FLEW. I briefly spoke with the traffic cop at Liberty and just booked it.
Interestingly, this was a full week on the bike. Had I gone by the weather reports, then the past two full days should've had me rained out. Though yesterday's return ride was an inconvenience, I know I'm stronger for it.
I barely stopped as I made almost every light and certainly all the important ones after Houston. I saved the full $22.50 this week. Every business day this month (all 9) have been biked. The only day next week for sure I will not do is Weds.

Thank you for reading.
