• I screwed up the train schedule and will miss running the race for the cure. But! I really needed the rest, and I will STILL have brunch! #
• Seriously! Also, @nysci, what the heck? RT @mikegrundy: Hey @makerfaire, no recycling bins @ world maker faire? Really?! #
• In my athletic clothes waiting for bus. always feel like a fake when I wear this stuff in public tho am actually ok at running! #selfcritic #
• PANTS. Bus was taking too long and I hopped off to take a cab to the train station: can we do 20 blocks in 5 min? Eep! #
• Oh crap. A parade. #totallymissingmytrain #
• Well, missed train totally. Left cab at 110th and walked – hey: Marcus Garcey park is amazing, isn't it? Bell tower! http://t.co/12WnzTmM #

• Hairstyling strategy: let it all stick up and see how the helmet squashes it. Before! #motorcycling http://t.co/S9qmItSE #
• Hmmm. That didn't work like I thought it would. The helmet has no flattening effect on my crazy happy hair, apparently. http://t.co/PgechbvL #
• Clearly there is no hope, but a hairbrush helped out a lot. After: http://t.co/w9g2p6bi #
• Accidentally stayed at work too late and had to motorcycle home in 50degF weather w/out cold gear. Brr! But! No rain, so that's something. #

• Many of the roads in my village are closed bc of flooding – ground is too saturated to manage the rains – now new river crests to watch for. #

• The NYS thruway is open and you can see the flood marks on the roadside foliage. Man, in some places the water was 3-4 ft over road surface! #
• The still-intact powerline kills me. “@jenwdragon: #Catskills house teeters on edge of eroded streambank http://t.co/U6rcsIo #Irene #FEMA” #

• Have procrastinated from peeling peaches for a couple of hours by reading canning/pickling cookbooks. I may press @mikegrundy into service. #
• Canning peaches. I have 33 lbs to process and still some left for jam! However I am doing everything the slow way. #wishmystovehad6burners #
• Just finishing the last two batches if sliced peaches: 34-pints and 1-quart all jarred up. I will save the jam fir another day, I think. #
• So windy out – i'm thankful we redid the roof and had our trees trimmed/felled (almost worth the tweaker and small claims court for latter!) #
• dear @mtainsider: I LOVE your flickr feed. thank you! http://t.co/TeMDbCi #
