Ah, so that's why there seem to be more spandex out there than usual hunched over aero-bars. That makes sense.
It's worth it, it's still too nice out to start wishing it was fall.

hooray for work beer(s)!
Air & water show or not, tonite's going to be worth it. The third night in a row of staying late, but this one has an open bar as the light at the end of the tunnel. Too bad it's just beer & wine, I'll have to save the whiskey for back home.
Speaking of the A&W show, the crowds yesterday were already getting ridiculous. That might have just been heading in at 10 AM vs 7:15, but it was enough to convince me to try something different this morning. Besides, it would be worse today with the jets already roaring by overhead.
It's about a mile & 1/2 shorter down Lincoln but takes just as long. Oh boy will that be fun this winter. "Streets ahead" it's not. It felt a lot busier than Wilson to the path does, but that might be leaving later in the morning again. We'll see when the weather changes.
In the meantime I just have to make it 9 more hours, then hopefully I'll be on my way home for quiet weekend and LOTS of drinking.

Or at least not too bad.
"I should get out and walk downtown more often." I think this every time I go outside on a gorgeous summer day at the office, only to immediately think differently the first time I have to navigate a sea of tourists & shoppers walking 5-abreast.
Today is was the desire to check out the Marilyn Monroe statue going up in Pioneer Plaza. I read about it going up yesterday, with no explanation of why, how long it would be there, or what it was supposed to represent. Just strange enough for me to have to see it in person.
It did not disappoint. I was expecting just the bottom half, but it seems the top half is already on if not ready to display. There were a ton of people out to check it out too, not just tourists but people like me wandering out of their office to have a look. Wild.
I ducked into the Levis store too, to check out their commuter line. I was surprised to see it being advertised in the window as I walked by, and apparently you can already buy the pants. $75? No thanks. I would look at the jacket if it wasn't late, but I didn't care enough to leave me name to hear back.
Great story. Compelling, and rich.

WTF is this shit?
Apparently no one was paying attention to the weather forecast this morning, as the garage was packed despite the imminent downpour that I just managed to avoid. Both my usual spot and the back-up were taken but I stayed dry so I really shouldn't complain.
