I saw a mouse today, or maybe it was a shrew, I can never tell them apart. She, I'm sure it was a she, scurried across the bike path so fast it looked like she had 15 legs. Very cute. Looked a little like a tiny marmot.

At the same time my mp3-player which is now loaded with random 80s stuff I found on our home computer burst into a very bizarre song called something like "Long-leggy John Wayne", with lyrics that sound like they might be dirty but I can't quite make them out. That had me grinning for the next ten minutes at least.

I just hit 6400 km for the year, exactly. Kewl.
