Have you heard about the Bicycle Commuter Benefits Act signed into law by President Bush on Oct. 3? It sounds great.

I will probably do my exhibit at the beginning of the Fall semester, since there will be more students around then.

I mostly bike for fun, but I have rode to work several times. My schedule makes it difficult for me to bike to work. I pick up my grandson two evenings a week and take him home on my way to work the following mornings. That takes up 4 of the 5 work days. One to two days a week, I am interning at a regional library that is 60-70 miles away...can't bike that day. As a library director, I have to run errands and attend meetings, so that complicates the matter as far as riding goes. Maybe that is why I love it so much when I actually get to ride! I saw your picture of the road you ride to work. Do you ride on the main road going with the traffic?

At 10:22am on July 9, 2008, Dinah Harris said…: It is nice to see there are several librarians who are also bikers. I don't get to ride as much as I would like, but it is something I enjoy tremendously. -And good luck with the vegetables...I have plans for a herb garden and began this year by planting sage. The fond memories of my grandmother's Thanksgiving dressing with sage from her garden prompted it. -Love your blog.

This morning I helped a patron with off campus access to JSTOR. I was surprised to find that JSTOR now uses facebook as a way to provide information and help. I thought this a great and practical use of facebook. If an individual can become a fan of JSTOR, couldn't a library?

You can call me spud

Last weekend I finally dug out my potatoe beds. They plants looked awful and I really wasn't expecting much. It looked to me like the plants were diseased and died. So to my shock I found under the first plant several medium, and a few large and tiny potatoes. I ended up with about thi… Continue

Back from Vacation

I'm back from visiting Maine and have been busy with a new project at the library. I think I finally caught up. Phew!

My vacation was enjoyable. I played cards with family, went fishing in a nearby lake, biked everyday, and ate entirely way too much--- and lost some weight. Biking has… Continue

Zucchini

Here I am standing next to a zucchini plant. My garden went in overdrive this weekend. Stringbeans, summer squash, and zucchini are all coming in. I have lots of yellow flowers and a couple of tomatos starting on the tomato plants. I picked some onions and a red potato this weekend as w… Continue

Pass the Peas

I harvested the first produce from my garden last night. I picked a bowful of peas, removed the pods and enjoyed them as a nice addtion to the chicken breasts on the grill. My wife came home late from her bike commute (she rides 3 miles) and I was stating to worry a little when she pull… Continue
