It's too hot . . .

to do much of anything except chill 
(or at least try to).  Yesterday I
went out like mad dogs and Englishmen
and hiked about 5 miles in the midday
sun—and then wished I hadn't.
The actual temp was in the 90s, but 
with the humidity more like 100+.

Thursday Challenge—"wheels"

Finally—and after a long delay—NYC's CitiBike
program launched on Memorial Day. Lots of controversy
around it; this spot, for example, used to be a venue
for large public art installations (which I've featured).
And, of course, it's already hard enough to find a parking
spot in the city and these stations have eaten up
quite a few.  Personally, I'm in the "this is a great thing"
camp.  It works in DC, Boston, Minneapolis, San Antonio, Paris,
Barcelona—why not here?  I hope it's a huge success after all.
