Last Sunday Anthony Zahn was in town and I got to go on a very nice pleasant road ride. In the end it was 40 miles and I thought I would have problems. Not problems at all, other than the uncomfortable seat which felt like sitting on a 2x6 but I enjoyed myself. Hoping to hit the road another time but hard to find a group these days. Got to catch up a little on his doings and sad to hear things are not going so well, but we both keep getting up and moving on. Upon my arrival back to my car I was caught by my dirt friends cheating on them for a road bike. I had to quickly make an excuse.
Back to slowly reading about the war of 1812 and decided to go with another old sci-fi book. Finished reading
The Man Who Mastered Time, a book published in 1929. This is one of the books offered by
Singularity & Co. of their preserved projects. I like any of the old type reads as so many have predicted things happening now and I like to see what the world was like back then. I like how this book started and was hoping for the same but it became a semi love story much the same way as the Time Machine. I wondered why they bothered to prepare for battle when they have a time machine and can alter any future. Either way an entertaining book. My next read will be
Babbitt, another Sinclair Lewis novel.
Looking forward another few days with Natalia and a friends birthday party and her schools Pajama Party tomorrow. Next week a field trip I hope we can both be able to make. Hoping for some cooler temps and maybe some wet stuff this weekend.
"I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those... moments... will be lost in time, like tears... in ... rain. Time... to die..."
- Roy Batty, Blade Runner
Tour of California got its official announcement and hoping to find a spot around the lake to see some riders on Friday with Natalia.
