August can only get better, and I know it will. Since the first day of August is Sunday, I attempted to go for my Sunday ride. Since an out of town friend said he wanted to meet me at Gu Gu Sushi to try the new baddog roll, I decided to keep my destination within 100 miles. Unfortunately, since it was such a nice day, everyone in Los Angeles County decided to hit the road also. Add a few scattered brush fires and the traffic becomes unbearable. Have the friend flake out on sushi and I had the trifecta.

My photo of the day for day 213 is just but a small example of what I dealt with today. Sometimes, staying home is the better idea.
