Vote

Next Tuesday, November 2, is a very important day for Americans. I continue to believe one of the most important rights we have is the right to vote. So, make plans to vote. Your vote is important!

Valley of Death

Now I know why they call it Death Valley. The bike ride for JDRF can be described simply as "a beautiful, brutally awesome ride! Temps in 100's with 10% humidity. I never drank so much water and Gatorade in my life! Death Valley is one of those places (like the Grand Canyon) that you must see with your own eyes to fully appreciate its beauty.

Death Valley - Here We Come

Well, for those who care, the weekend for my bike ride in Death Valley is coming up. We leave the day after tomorrow for Vegas and then shuttle 2 hours to Furnace Creek in Death Valley National Park, California. We start our ride about 6:45 a.m. on Saturday morning with a temp around 61 degrees. We finish with temp around 100. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Salt intake is equally important so one does not get what is called hyponatremia, referred to as water intoxication.

Will give you update when I return next week. If you are one of those who contributed to JDRF to support my ride, a sincere thank you.

Falk Resigns

I wonder if County Exec Falk's determination to keep office till April 1, 2011 has anything to do with her retirement benefits? Could it be that is the real reason for the April 1 date?

Here and There

Attended Packer game last Sunday. There is still something special about Lambeau Field. It is always interesting to run into people who come from all over the world to be there.

As I look out this a.m. at a perfectly cloudless sky and the beautiful leaf color changes taking place, geese flying south..... why would one question why autumn is the most beautiful season of the year!

Bike on!
