"Unlike most scooter and motorcycle riders, summer has always been the season I ride the least. I've blamed the heat. Or the laziness I feel whenever the temperature rises into the upper 70s. Whatever it is I seem to come back to life when I can step outside in the morning with the temperature at 50. This summer was no different. But a few things were stirred into the mix"
"The concerns about a blogging platform have faded into the who cares realm. Perhaps a side effect of time in the saddle. And the eye surgery has been nothing short of miraculous. Since I was seven-years-old I've been nearsighted. Cataracts made normally blurry vision even worse, even corrected with glasses. And now, after surgery, I've joined the ranks of the farsighted. Without glasses I have 20/20 vision."
Summer produced fewer and shorter rides due to heat and personal inertia, yet riding continued two to three times weekly to exercise five machines and preserve joy. A recent faux heart attack scare and prolonged platform indecision interrupted posting, but riding remained consistent. Cataract surgery transformed lifelong nearsightedness into functional farsight, delivering unaided 20/20 distance vision while requiring reading glasses. Colors and road markings now appear vivid and sharply defined. Improved eyesight motivated renewed interest in photography. Morning routines include dressing, brushing teeth, and walking dogs in the garden for patrols, which anchor daily habits and prepare for rides.
