The wildfire stayed as the #1 news around here for many days and it took quite a while before the containment percentage rose from 0%. Eventually they got it under control though.
Spring is here
On Saturday I noticed a lot of parked cars and cyclists on the street when I opened the curtains in the morning. You see a lot of cyclists wearing their racing gear and with proper road bikes around here but the parked cars peaked my interest so I went out for a walk. Turned out that there was a local bike race right next to my condo that lasted pretty much the whole day. There were different classes based on the gender and the age. The one I watched was for men over 45 and it lasted for 50 minutes. While one race was taking place the contestants for the upcoming races were warming up all over the surrounding area. They had some seriously cool bikes that probably cost more than I make in a year.
+28 C / 82 F
Inspired by this, on Sunday I actually went ahead and bought myself a bike. I had checked out quite a few stores in hopes of getting something decent for cheap and eventually decided to go with a road bike from Walmart for $169. I started riding it home and less than two miles in, the front tire came off the rim and before I managed to stop, the inner tube exploded. With a price tag like that, I knew it wouldn't be the best bike in the world but I didn't expect it to be that crappy. I took it back to Walmart and got my money back.
I should have sued them for one hundred dollars
$169 worth of Made in China greatness gets you this
After the incredibly warm and dry March, it finally cooled down on Monday. On Tuesday it finally snowed again. It was long overdue and I don't mind the snow at all since it will melt right away anyway.
