Hello from Valpo. I just picked up some flowers on my UA.

The perfect haul!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the trip to Arthur works out. It's sure to be very exciting. It's definitely a completely new experience.

Heading to the airport to rent a minivan right now! **Update** There were no minivans available for rent at the entire airport. Apparently there's a ton of stuff happening in Indianapolis this week and there was a run on rental cars, so I'm out of luck and 30+ degree temperatures are setting in at my destination later this week, so I'm not sure what to do now.

@@AmericanFietser Damn. Air conditioning and a pollen filter are really the two biggest advantages of a car in some hot agricultural regions. My girlfriend is dependent on her trike, which is why we unfortunately even had to buy a small minivan to ensure availability. Every now and then we have to escape quick to the sea or to the mountains because of the pollen. And bad news from Europe too. Yesterday was the election of the European Parliament. The bicycle-friendly parties lost a lot, in some cases halving their results. The fossil car parties and the post-fascist parties*, on the other hand, made significant gains*. After 20 years of progress, dark times are ahead. *In one year is the election of the german gov. And it looks as they will win in all eastern states.
