Likely the last long training ride was accomplished today. I didn't start out intending to ride this far, but it happened and felt good.

In the cat's defense, there was no more practical way to get on top of the speaker.

"I'm gonna scratch the shit out of those speaker grills."

Saw Kaki King last night, small venue in Southern Maine about 1.5 miles from my condo. She is so good! I described it on FB as feeling like being by a lake with gentle waves lapping onto the shore - at least her mellower songs. Then she would break out into her frenetic playing with body hits for rhythm, and fast finger moving and fret-playing. She even got pretty talkative with the audience. I guess it was her 3rd time playing the place; maybe 50 people there, but they were true fans.

Little bit out of my normal wheelhouse. Drove Alec back to Dallas today and he made me listen to country all the way.

Not serious, but true. 1954: Capitol issued Classics in Jazz: Miles Davis (T-762), compiling the 12 recordings from the famous Birth of the Cool sessions. Later in 1957: Capitol retitled/reissued the LP as Birth of the Cool. Cool is so much cooler.
