Started raining while I was in the bank, but my flat cap did the trick. Now luxuriating with a Divine Hammer DIPA while I wait for the other Esperantists to arrive.
After the Rattlesnake Master 10k I came down with either a very nasty cold or else a moderately nasty case of the flu. Whatever virus it was, it had me pretty much down for the count for a solid week. Today was the first day in almost two weeks I felt up to a run.
Scouted tomorrow’s Rattlesnake Master Run for the Prairie 10k race, including Jackie’s volunteer station. Walked the bit where it enters and leaves Yankee Ridge. Just inside the park spotted the tree where the vultures hang out!
As the old wives’ tale has it, the size of the woolly bear’s sweater foretells the severity of the coming winter. I’d judge this one to be about average. Maybe a little on the chilly side.
Purchased for the name and label, but also for the age statement (not many scotches bragging on 5 years old) and the slightly higher proof (43% abv). A fine young whiskey. Notes of vanilla and sugar.
Ragweed season started back on August 9th, and now seems finally to be over. Yesterday, for the first time in maybe three weeks, I didn’t need to use nasal steroids. (Same nasal steroids I used to use almost all the time, until I went low-carb.)
At Destihl for lunch because @jackieLbrewer has a class right after. I’m drinking the Imperial Release the Dark Within, a very nice, adequately bitter, porter. Jackie has the Deadhead Funkengruven. Also had a taste of the Antiquity, a rye wine.
