In which I try again

The process of winding down has begun. Today I didn't wait for it to be warm enough to ride. Today I faced up to the reality of September. I layered up and went out into the coolish temperatures and rode.

The local weather channel said SE wind so I had to dodge around the Fair again. But once I got past University Avenue it seemed to me that the wind was more SW than SE. I decided to change my route from what I had been thinking and instead tried to get a bit further west. I crossed into Minneapolis (Minneapolis being west) and eventually got this picture of downtown from the south side.That's the IDS over to the left, the tall building in the center is the building which we have always referred to as Spook Central (because of its appearance when lit up at night) and of course, Metropolitan Stadium on the right.

I got a little too far from home before realizing that I had a schedule at home. I was hurrying to get home in time for the scheduled activities of the afternoon and as a result I ended up riding a lot closer to the Fair than I intended to. It worked out OK as I got a chance to visit these old friends:I love those cows, this time I particularly like the sun to shade contrast.
