I could of skipped today. It was very wet and threatening more. I was able to find a nice window and did a 25 minute workout. Still need to work on keeping up a steady speed (endurance)
Here’s how the route ended up:

We are starting just under a month late due to the weather but in a couple of days we get our first share from our CSA (Natures Harvest Organics). From Monday we should be getting 24 more weeks of locally produced veggies.
In the first batch we should be getting:
- Heirloom Lettuce Mix (Black Seeded Simpson and Red Oak Leaf)
- Mustard Greens (strong smelling and tasting green in the bag)
- Radishes – loose or bunched (Cherry Belle, French Breakfast or White Beauty)
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Summer Squash
- Green Onions
- Green Peppers

First off, i totally agree with this statement:
Here’s how you can use the A La Carte Method for yourself. Cancel all the discretionary subscriptions you can: your magazines, annual Rhapsody plan, cable — even your gym. (It would be totally ridiculous to cancel your Internet, though. I’d cry like a little girl if I couldn’t get online from my house.) – emphasis mine
Now on to the meat. Ramti Sethi @ I Will Teach You To Be Rich has a look at the psychology of subscriptions and how its much better in most cases to buy things a La Carte as you use them.
The A La Carte Method: Use Psychology Against Yourself to Save Money
We are going to give this a whirl. There are enough choices now to download shows from iTunes and Amazon unBoxed that i think its possible, combined with the network shows we can get in HD via the Over the Air antenna that we can save money on the $65.00 per month Directv bill.
Comcast is no cheaper and the cost just goes up to add the capability to receive HD signals through the satellite. So we are going to try the internet.
To be fair, i can’t live without a Tivo (so dramatic!) so we are getting a TivoHD to record the network shows we do watch. Its a shame that Directv decided to orphan Tivo when moving to HD. This radical thinking may have never come up.

The Marines invade Indianapolis
The 2,300 Marines of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, based at Camp Lejeune, N.C., will be in the area for the next two weeks to train for urban combat at sites such as the old Eastgate Consumer Mall, Brookside Park, Bush Stadium and nearly two dozen other Indianapolis locations.
I love this comment in the comments section by DogHead:
We need to see these guys over on the East Side….permanently. Make sure they wear their kevlar and body armor though…they don’t call it ‘little Beirut” for nothing
