I think I would fit in quite nicely in Springfield. Go to http://www.simpsonsmovie.com to get your cartoon self realized.

After a very busy week, I was finally able to get out and do a little riding today. Only got 50 miles in, but it was still a good time. The map below highlights my route.

After hitting Sonic for some lunch (mmmmmm...tots), I headed northeast to Tonganoxie. Coming back down County Road 1, I ended up in Eudora and then back in south Lawrence. At this point I decided to head out to Wells Overlook. For those of you that went to KU, Wells Overlook is probably familiar. I hadn't been there since college, so a quick stop was in order.

Looking North you can see KU.

 

The beauty of zoom...Fraser Hall in the distance.

Looking south toward US 59.

Looking straight down from the top of the tower.

You can find more information here if you are really, really interested. As a side note, it was apparent that some sort of Fourth of July Battle took place, give all the spent firecrackers, smoke bombs and bottle rockets.

That's the scooter at the park. I'm still trying to figure out how to get a picture of myself while riding the bike...even I think that might be a tad dangerous.

 While I'm not into the whole Live Earth thing today, I do dig good music. And I'm pretty impressed with the setup that MSN put together so you can watch every concert around the globe live...streamings flawless and the interface is very intuitive. Makes me happy to see the boys and girls at MSN pull this off.
