Home street flooding at 10:30 am

Good Day,

And the flooding begins. Street in front of the house, in Tampa, at 10:30 am just up to the sidewalk.

This morning I pedaled, indoors, another 22.6 miles on my Schwinn 170. Totals now stand at 18,938.3 miles; 30,478.3 kilometers.

I am currently located at 268 Scenic Highway in the Central Coast, New South Wales. I am now 42.1 miles within range of my final and last destination and goal point. All-things-being-equal 2 more days to go.

Loaves #11 and #12 prepped; 54 more to the habit.

And Grandpa will be babysitting this afternoon.

Day 472 – (AD 902) – 22.3 Miles – Jim's Trek Part III – Counting on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Today I pedaled 22.3 miles on my Schwinn 170.My totals - 18,915.7 miles; 30,441.9 kilometers.

I am traveling on the Pacific coast road and I am currently located on Elizabeth Bay Drive in the Bugewoi Peninsula, New South Wales.

My countdown clock has paused at 70.6 miles left to go.

Thank you for comments and questions. They always get me thinking. And to those of you who do use Social Media remember that there is no one dictating to you what you have to do, to think, to write. Your CPU does have an On/Off switch… and you can move your mouse cursor to the button.

Question - Why is that, (in my opinion), the fair percentage of persons who, at best like to consider themselves artists, are the ones most concerned with copyright issues and infringement?  Charles Caleb Colton did coin the phrase "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery".  And Oscar Wilde chimed in that "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness."

Some persons have accused me for soap-boxing my political sidings and preferences. Obviously the maxim that readers only read and comprehend about 10% what they read holds fast and true. It has always been apparent that I have not in any way expressed my leanings on the political spectrum shy of my writing that I may be a Centrist who may swing to the left and/or to the right dependent upon my own understanding of any specific issue. My soap-boxing has always been about, or I have insinuated that, the lack of knowledge and logical thought processes of the mass and the electoral constituencies. If any so-called social media friend wants to delete the “friendship” connection that’s his/her business. Definitely no sweat off my back or off from any other part of my body.

I have been looking for something, some word to express that which I would like to achieve in our quilting designs. I believe finally, maybe and for the time, it is Cymatics. How do we transcribe that to the quilting echoes of our work. The earliest representation of Buddha was by his footprint, which seems to contain many interesting esoteric symbols that are redolent of cymatic pattern.

Day 471 – (AD 901) – 23.2 Miles – Jim's Trek Part III – Almost There on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Only 92 ½ more miles to go. I’m counting the Google inches.

This morning I pedaled 23.2 miles on my Schwinn 170. Total to date – 18,893.4 miles; 30,406.1 kilometers.

I cycled through Newcastle, stopped at Wharf Road

and then continued on to Ocean Street in the area of Whitebridge, New South Wales.

Now The Atlantic’s headline proclaims that “The 2016 U.S. Presidential Race: A Cheat Sheet. Ohio Governor John Kasich’s announcement Tuesday means the Republican field is now complete [sic]”.

A cheat sheet? Is this a subliminal message for advertising the newest of new maths? Does this number of candidates signpost a true reality of how confused the American electorate is and exponentially escalating about the state of its politics and governing expertise? 

Hell the FEC is currently listing 500 possible individuals who have filed a Statement of Candidacy, and we’ve got 16 months to weed and whack. I think I am going to learn Basic Mandarin…maybe that’ll help and point me to the right candidate.

Looks like I will be having surgery on my foot-bottom in a couple of weeks. Sonogram and MRIs are not revealing anything of immediate identification. The thing in the square's gotta come out.

What does it mean? I may have to rest for a couple of days at some point as I begin Part IV of my Jim’s Trek.

Day 470 – (AD 900) – 22.4 Miles – Jim's Trek Part III – Keep Pedaling on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Today is my 900th day riding and pedaling my Schwinn Fitness cycles in 961 days. I began on December 2, 2012 and, if I can use the old math, I have rested a mere 61 days.

This morning I pedaled 22.4 miles on my Schwinn 170. Totals – 18,870.2 miles; 30,368.7 kilometers.
 

And this morning I reversed direction and I am headed toward the south east. I am located at Lot 7 Medowie Road in Medowie, New South Wales.

Countdown – 117 miles.

My early morning blood sugar jumped 12 points to 112…still okay though, but the reason –

I made and devoured a major slice of my Yellow Blueberry Cake with Butter Cream Cheese Icing. And would you turn away from this?

This late morning, after cycling, I visited Where Minds, Machines and Masterpieces Meet at the Dali Museum. And next exhibit – Escher at The Dali.

Good Day,

This morning I pedaled another 22.4 miles on my Schwinn 170. Totals: 18,847.8 miles; 30,332.7 kilometers.

Today I am headed in a northwesterly direction…and if you have been following my Trek in any way you’ll note that I can switch directions at any day at a given point. This morning I am located at Myall Street in Tea Gardens, New South Wales.

Countdown – 131 miles, plus or minus, to go.

Running some errands today, no time to soap-box.


Loaves #9 and #10 completed.

Should be interesting trying my version of the Goetta.

Also tried to make a Yellow Blueberry Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese icing.

My blood sugar count rang in this morning at 100. Control. Control. Control.
