No better idea

Its been since February that I felt too lazy to blog properly (complete sentences, paragraphs, and all that), so once again, its bullet statement time.

• Happy autumnal equinox! Monsoon season - it was nice knowing you. There are 90 degree afternoon highs here and there but fall is definitely in the air, provided you're up and outdoors at 4:00am to feel it.
• Weather notwithstanding, these damned ankle-biter mosquitos (Aedes aegypti Linn.) are completely out of control here in Tucson. Its to the point where I'm getting mobbed even at midday, not just during the dawn and dusk high-risk periods. While A. aegypti carry the disconcerting common name of Yellow Fever Mosquito, they are said to be incompetent vectors of West Nile Virus. The Culex musquitos are a different story, and when I hear thier telltale buzzy whine, I get gone.
• Thrift score 1: A frosty blue, box-stock 1979 Schwinn Suburban, complete with a peculiar Shimano Front Freewheel system and a Positron indexed shifter. This will be my 4th Avenue and beer festival ride.
• Thrift score 2: A chestnut brown 1974 Schwinn Suburban with a step-thru frame, also stock (but for the tires), and lacking the oddball drivetrain. This will be BeanSS's downtown and beer fest bike.
• The next post will happen as soon as I find something worth talking about.
