three for three

I'm proud of myself - I've taken about an hour's bike ride for the last three days in a row. The weather here is blowing my mind: sunny, warm. The streets are mostly super-wide, and there are marked bike lanes on many of them. In fact, I need to study the bike route map so I can stick to the correct streets and hook up with off-road bike paths whenever possible.

Today was the longest ride yet. I had to return the rental car, and it was a little further away than google maps indicated. Then I was going to go to the DMV for a Colorado driver's license, and then to the public library for a library card. But besides having further to ride, I hadn't realized the late hour, so neither errand worked out. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the ride. Every time I could see west, there were the Rockies. Pretty clear today, so I could see lots of peaks I don't know the names of yet. I wonder if I saw Long's Peak in Estes Park.

Unpacking is proceeding nicely. I need to collar some strong folks to help me move some heavy furniture so I can finish unpacking. I put a bunch of things in the wrong places. Par for the course, I guess.

Delilah's favorite place to spend the day is on top of the fridge, in the 4" space between the fridge and the cupboard above it. It's right by the door to the garage, so I get to say hello every time I come in and go out. She seems very happy up there, and pretty well adjusted when she comes down, so I'm not gonna roust her. If I try to pet her up there, she presents her belly, so maybe it's her new safe spot.

In other news, my car is not yet here. I was told tonight or tomorrow. The weather looks great all week, so I can get by without it for a while longer. Kinda like the idea, actually.
