Fly 'til it Hurts
I spent 14 hours in the pilot's seat over three days. After that my back was in a knot. I don't know how the long haul truck drivers do it.
Last week I did a run to Fresno and had the day to kill while there. My Iphone has been giving me trouble and I learned that Fresno had an Apple Store, so I set out on my folding bike to find the mall. Along the way I got a good look at downtown Fresno. What a sad state of affairs. It looked as if there had been a heyday perhaps in the 30s and 40s, but today there are these impressive old buildings and wide streets with no people around to occupy them. I was, however, impressed by the hospital I saw near the downtown. The mall was impressive as well compared to anything in the North State.
I also made two round trips to San Diego area, one to pick up my sister's family to bring them to Chico for my parent's 50th anniversary party. We had a great time at Canyon Oaks while parts of Paradise burned. I will blog a bit more about my parents later.
On Sunday I will fly out to Moab, Utah for a mountain biking expedition in the San Juan Mountains. I will blog about that upon my return.

I am impressed that you carry a folding bicycle. It appears that you are a biking enthusiast. While I am nowhere NEAR an enthusiast, it occurs to me that a folding bike might help me in my recovery from my heart attacks. I hope you will write more about that... such as how you carry it, for example.
