Saturday evening, between the ominous flash-flood warnings, we took a stroll down the road and saw an oncoming bicyclist. He stopped and introduced himself and said he had recently moved here from Philadelphia.
"I'm still in shock," he said, about how beautiful his new surroundings are. A retired park ranger in Maryland, he explained that he enjoys observing nature and is thrilled to see all the types of birds that live here. As far as the bicycling goes, he is trying to follow his doctor's advice to drop a few pounds and intends to pedal a little farther up the steep hill each day.
