Love Is Meant For Beauty Queens

Since I got home last week, I've been borrowing my dad's bike in the evenings, after the temperature drops below 80, and riding around the neighborhood. Not long rides - I haven't owned a bike since mine got stolen when I was a freshman, and this uses my muscles in different ways from all the walking I do, plus my dad's bike is a bit awkward for me since I'm about 8 inches shorter than he is. But I put my headphones in with music or a radio drama and bike around for fifteen or twenty minutes, until I get bored and come home. Towards the edge of the neighborhood you start getting closer to the river basin and there are some nice trees. There's even some actual farmland. One of our neighbors has sheep! And last week I got moo-ed at by a very disgruntled cow. It was pretty fun.
