This morning I rode the 4+ miles to center city because when I sit on a bus
it's so difficult to stand and walk after the ride.  When I went into a
restaurant for lunch I locked my bike to a bike rack.  When I returned all that
was there were the helmet and cable lock.

Missing:  bicycle, bike computer, handlebar bag with waterproof camera and mini
tape recorder, left rear pannier with fluorescent green windbreaker jacket,
arnica montana, 99 BandAids, 3 energy bars, finger gloves, fingerless gloves.
The bike also had a new rear cassette with better gearing than the original and
Travel Agents to improve braking.

Two other Odyssey 2000 bikes were stolen today.

Dick Ryan told me that his doctor doesn't want him to ride tomorrow and
possibly two additional days and offered to let me ride his tomorrow.

The Odyssey 2000 bike costs $1300.  I may opt to buy a less expensive bike in a
bike shop.  I don't like the idea of paying that much for a replacement bike.

This morning the Ceremonial Guard band rehearsed in the building where our dorm
is.

I hope there's nothing else bad is going to happen on this trip.
