October 25
Today was a bit of a slog in the end, a bit sloggy. Maybe it was the not enough sleep, maybe it was too many beers last night. I'm not sure. What I think it is though is nutrition, I'm not eating enough. I only had a sandwich for dinner yesterday and it was fairly small. I definitely need more for than that, so many more calories. Also vitamins, need to remember my vitamins more.
The bicycle house guy made me some breakfast though, coffee and eggs, which was great. Good guy, apparently has some brain injury (coma?) And woke up and started this bike co-op. Following his dreams and really helping people out. Good guy.
After that though my legs just weren't pumping strongly. I slowly made it out to Quincy where apparently the porchfest was happening. I think it was just people playing music on their porches, not sure though. Anyway though, had a really average lunch at a small cafe and they were really slow. Average experience at the very best, contributed to the slog.
From there I just cycled it out, mile by mile. The scenery was okay, the hills were rolling and realized that the radio is terrible. I honestly can't imagine why there are radio stations anymore. I'm this close to swearing off radio entirely because this is getting out of hand. I swear that the station I was listening to was only playing about 8 songs. I decided that I can exercise my power as a consumer and go to a different station. The next station had the same 8 songs and maybe 3 more. Outrage. I get it Taylor Swift, your shaking it off. I just don't need to be constantly told that! And don't even get me started about being about the bass, don't get me started.
I'm in a hotel in Chipley tonight because I really just wanted to sit and do nothing. I've since polished off an entire pizza and could probably eat more. I'm going to see how much water I can drink also. I realize that I'm drinking a bunch of water but never need to urine. The water just goes into the system.
I also watched remember the titans, love that movie.
Oh and I crossed into central time so that's cool. So long east coast time, football starts too late in you. Central or bust!
