phoney beatlemania has bitten the dust

14 miles with The Clash's London Calling (r.i.p. Joe Strummer). Last week was more of a proof of concept. This week was about sustainability.



Speaking of sustainability, looks like 'evolution' lives to fight another day. In case you haven't been following, The Texas State Board of Education voted on language recently to scrap a longtime requirement that students be taught the "weaknesses" in the theory of evolution. You can read a summary article here. Or you can follow the excruciating details here.

Oh, I forgot to mention. On my run today I was almost hit by a blue heron that was flying an intercept pattern off my left side. Stopped me in my tracks. Blue Herons are known to nest in Hyde park, but I had never seen one up close before. Trust me, they're big birds.
