Seeking corporate sponsorship

The wind was so strong last night, I didn't really sleep at all. I just watched the tent shake and wondered when it would collapse. I kept thinking of that book "Into Thin Air," when the wind collapses a bunch of tents during the storm. If I had slept, I would have had nightmares. But my REI Quarterdome tent is still standing, and I was snuggly warm in my REI Kilo Plus sleeping bag.

Since the wind is blowing about 20 to 30 mph, and will continue to do that through tonight, I decided my best course of action would be to stay put, nap when I can, and begin riding again tomorrow when the wind is supposed to abate. Just the thought of taking my tent down in this wind made me burrow deeper in my sleeping bag, and I'd rather not fight it all day, constantly worried that I will be blown off the road or in front of a car. I figured if I stayed in bed all day, I wouldn't need to eat much, but the dear camp host gave me big ole half a round of brie. Yum! I think it was left over from a party last night, and she would rather not have that delicious hunk of fat in the house. So now I am not just eating, but eating in style. Life is good.

And no, it hasn't rained on me yet.
