Carry On

15°C, Mostly Cloudy. Last day of normal classes is tomorrow. Then only four days of finals. Man this has been a long time in coming. A bit of news on a subject I try too avoid whenever possible. BHS is again in the national news, this time it was for something other than a couple of masked people in ski jackets. A little while ago, BHS hosted the Confrence on World Affairs, of which, one of the forum topics was "Sex Teens and Drugs". some things were said that offended some people, and before long everything was blown out of proportion. FOX news and Bill O'rielly have now targeted Boulder as an "out of control liberal town" and accusing the District Superintendent of being at fault for something that was actually organized by students. Normally I try not to let stuff make me angry, but This pisses me off. Not because he is a crazed republican, but because he presents this bull shit to 50 million viewers when most of it was not even true. Students were not "ordered" to attend the CWA and most of the students were not offended. The main thing that makes me angry is Mr. O'rielly's apparent opinion that high school students are unable to make their own decisions. Personally, I resent the fact that some hick is bashing our town because he is still a virgin.



Well, luckily I got out for a ride today, up the hill and deer trail and then down to CR 83 and on to sunshine. Took a route that I haven't taken for a while coming out next to the Church in the Pines on 4mile.

Beautiful day, perfect temperature, really cool how the sun was out at a low enough angle that it was bright and sunny while dark clouds rolled on above.

Good to get the legs moving again, endorphins flowing. No night rides this week, unfortunately. Sometimes its nice to only have to worry about a few square feet for a while. Oh well, I'm going to try really hard to get one in this weekend, but it might be very busy.
