Over the Edge in Spartanburg

I did not hear President Biden’s speech last night because of a dinner engagement (how odd it feels to even say that). When I saw this image on the news today, it was like WOW!!

Progress indeed

It was a very windy day today but that did not deter the people rappelling down the 10 story AC Hotel in Spartanburg for the Over the Edge fundraiser for cancer. These shots are of the granddaughter of my friend KJ. MC just completed treatment or breast cancer in March and is doing well. The company managing the rappelling made this seem very safe. I think I would consider it next time.

I then came to my Spartanburg “home away from home” where I will be for the next 4 days before returning to Nashville for vaccination #2. My host is my roommate from the Natchez Trace cycling adventure in 2018. We did not know each other before the trip. It took us a few days to few days to feel comfortable with each other – she was from the South and I was from the North. Fortunately we had similar world views and became great friends. She gave me refuge last July in the middle of the pandemic when the apartment I rented in Nashville turned out to be a scam. We will be cycling and doing some photography for the website.

Why are people that ride motorcycles called bikers and those that ride bicycles called cyclists? It doesn’t make sense. Life is good when I have time to ponder things like this.
