Can you tell me roughly where, so I know to avoid?

south King county; Kent, Federal Way, Auburn. where MaryQFC was hit.

yep, same here, Mimi and Jocelyn...while I have been back out on the trail (Linda and I, just last weekend, rode from South Park to the site in Auburn where we were hit)...and a bit on the road, I have not done some of my[former] favorite routes - through Kent out to Flaming Geyser or Auburn to Black Diamond (with mandatory bakery stop!)...am still kinda scared and am not going to push myself to ride down there again, while I still feel like this.
To note: I was hit (mowed down is a more accurate description) while in a painted crosswalk, with lots of signage for traffic approaching in all directions - whew!
Even when you, Salsabike and I rode on the Centennial trail recently, I noticed that I was still kinda "hinky" (technical term there, = shaky) on getting back up to where I was previously with bike handling, traffic crossings and the like.
It is all part of the crash and injuries experience, including aftermath, I guess...understandable and part of what I'm easing myself through, without pushing too fast.

Hi, girls.

Just thought I'd say.

Hi! back at you from the Big Easy. Hurricane season officially starts on monday - the annual panic has already begun.

Me, I took off early from work yesterday, went to my local nursery bought some plants, came home, ripped out the sorry straggly rose bushes by my front door and relandscaped the to front beds. Looks much better now if I may say so myself.

Hi there Salsa!

That sounds VERY satisfying! Sometimes it's hard to rip out plants that are still alive and chugging along. I've slowly learned to harden my heart and just do it, otherwise I keep looking at them and resenting their scraggliness.

I've been gradually getting more efficient in my bread baking so that now I can be making bread in between multi-tasking work and other things at home. For the past 2 hours I've been working on patent drawings AND baking two new loaves of bread- a plain white sesame boule, and an olive/tomato/cheddar loaf....mmmmm.... I think we've bought only two loaves of bread in the past 6 weeks- and we eat a lot of bread.

Yesterday I planted a bunch of new seeds in my little veggie garden- scallions, French radishes, Italian purple pole beans, bok choy, and others.
I can't wait for my new large veggie garden to get dug in and fenced.

You pulled up roses?
i dug down 3 feet once to get rid of a rose. It came back. They're related to blackberries
now I just cut it to the ground whenever i see it. At least it doesn't spread or multiply like some of my weeds.

What is it with me this week, where three separate people are ticked off at me now for things I DIDN'T post on TE but somehow they think I did???
