It's a little past 9AM, and I'm sitting on the shore of a lake... well, more of a pond, really... in Bath, NY. I'm at the annual BentRide, camping out with a bunch of other people who like piloting lawnchairs.
It's also my first test of the whole "blogging while camping" thing... Bath NY isn't a big town, but I've managed to hook into Verizon's broadband network, albeit at considerably reduced speeds.
I am, as they say geeking out.
I'd post some purty pitchers for you as well, but although I remembered to bring the USB connector for my PDA/camera/cellphone/pedal wrench, I forgot to install the ActiveSync software on my laptop, so the pitchers, they are trapped.
And,I must say: trying to view a highly reflective screen while wearing a BRIGHT! ORANGE! tee - shirt in full sun is... difficult.
Nevertheless: I am by a lake/pond - thing, and writing to you.
Because I can.
Because I care.
In a little bit I'll pedal on over to the rally, there to test - ride trikes and bikes unusual. Tomorrow is the BentRide itself, a 45 - mile trip around some proper lakes with possible side trips to local wineries.
I think I need to put sunblock on my eyelids. I feel them crisping like be - lashed Pringles.
Ain't technology great? Now I can waste your time with inane drivel... from anywhere!
