Pulse of the City

Riding home on my bike through the heat was hot. But the 15 minute ride was well within my capacity: near the end, my pulse rate was about 150. And after I was home for 15 minutes, I was back down to 105. Right now it's about 82 -- higher than I'm used to for a resting pulse, but I guess that's the excitement of blogging for you.

We had some thunderstorms tonight, so that should bring cooler weather. Heat emergency: over. Time to head down to tidewater Virginia for a three-day weekend of R&R.
