mmm.....Yummy radishes from the farmer's market. 

Java House Coffee Shop in downtown IC today. It took them 20 minutes to make my little coffee for some reason. The guy behind the counter gave me a card for a free drink next time. So, there will be another Java drawing soon.

My friend Adam (aka Anonymous Bosch) and I had a drawing duel at George's bar last night. I think he won. 

Yesteday, I went to the mall. There was a huge Iowa thunderstorm banging  around outside. I didn't buy sunglasses, but I did get bike riding stuff in preparation for RAGBRAI, including a CO2 inflator thing, padded pants, and an intertube for the lovely Motobecane that I'm borrowing. When I got home, it took me about an hour and a half to change the rear tire, and as it turned out the best tool for doing that is a butter knife. So much for those tire hot pink levers that I bought.

Grinnell Journey.

Yesterday, I went to Grinnell. Planted lots of seeds with Carlos for the circus, fell off of a bike, blew out a tire on the same bike, walked a couple of miles with a flat tire bike in tow, ate fresh asparagus and candied ginger , and took lots of pictures during the drive there and back. Here's a drawing I made inspired by the drive on I-80 and Hwy 6.

Jacksonville drawing.

I made this drawing right before I left Jacksonville. I was running, and stumbled onto this event happening in my street. I had made all these assumptions about what was happening before I reached the spot where the people were standing. I was completely wrong. Here it is.
