Crap bike journal with a crappy attitude, strictly for my own record

NSV: my endurance much improved, I can now handle some moderate uphill climb on the bicycle trail, which I couldn’t last year.
So what. I am blowing a raspberry. The action required to maintain this small victory is greatly objectionable to me.
I can’t find reasons to quit smoking. Longevity never interested me and it never will. Marlboro Man has been faithful to me. He is the reason I get up in the morning. He never fails to be there for me in difficult times. And he never judges me.
But my pulmonary function is steadily declining; I almost failed the pre-employment physical earlier this year. I don’t even know how I still manage to swim or bicycle. But I do. For now.
I am recording my thoughts here because for the first time I am genuinely scared. My smoking is getting out of control. I’ve gone from one pack/10 days to 3 packs in 2 days. C’mon yfritz, that’s ridiculous, said the uprooted rotten tree that resembled a cartoon starfish. I swear it was saying “hey stop being a doofus,” which made me chuckle.

I am hopelessly in love with pelicans. I never forget the first time I saw the silent gliding of pelicans over the water. The fleet was almost touching the waves. Those hurricane birds flew so close to my floating body that I saw their eyes. The angularity of their body aroused intense emotions in me.
I took hundreds of pelican pictures this summer but none satisfied me. The dissatisfaction compelled me to return to NC. Today was my last day in the Outer Banks, I walked on the beach, the bridges, the boardwalk, even drove to the neighboring town at dawn and at sunset, and I finally captured the image that reminded me of the morning when pelicans and I were gliding side by side, the image that reclaimed the moment when I was swimming and flying at the same time.
