Keep up the good work! I hope to donate more as the year progresses.Emily3noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916447777056971449.post-52834981057486949642014-01-30T18:47:15.287-05:002014-01-30T18:47:15.287-05:00Hi Dorian,

This is my first time commenting. Stay strong, you are moving southward and eventually you will escape this bitter cold winter we've been having in the eastern US! It has been an extraordinarily cold winter and there's no way you could have predicted two polar vortexes descending upon your early 2014 biking route! <br />Coincidentally, you biked through my neck of the woods for this day's post (I live west of Alexandria), and it is exciting to think you were coming through this area looking for our interesting birds. I'm glad you found the tundra swans at Mason Neck, and what a wonderful coincidence to receive a towel swan at the end of your long day. That's definitely a "God Wink" (see http://www.whengodwinks.com/faqs/) if you believe in those sorts of things. :)<br /><br />Best of luck as you move south through Virginia! I'll be hoping for you that there are no more southerly snow storms!!!Emily3noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916447777056971449.post-90496341290228318652014-01-30T08:05:55.742-05:002014-01-30T08:05:55.742-05:00Your accounts are honest and fascinating, and I am...Your accounts are honest and fascinating, and I am riding every mile with you in spirit. Rest when you need it. Rest is good, and your journey is a long one. May you continue to be blessed with good birds, good people, and wonderful experiences.Larry Pistranghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03525727771036061306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916447777056971449.post-90135560790773826802014-01-30T03:41:10.512-05:002014-01-30T03:41:10.512-05:00Keep going!

I was cycling to work in the rain this morning, all the while singing Michael Buble 'It's A Beautiful Day' 'cause that was the last thing I heard on the radio before leaving home... Just put a song in your head and plod on! It will get better.Jannekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14070292891757893570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916447777056971449.post-18484724632256644102014-01-29T21:58:36.996-05:002014-01-29T21:58:36.996-05:00I'm rooting for you!

There are lots of people behind the scenes, reading your blog, enjoying your stories and wishing you well! Loved the folded towel!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15804215782785482027noreply@blogger.com
