Coffeeneuring Stop #1: South Beach Blvd

 In true 2020 style, started out close to home, just a simple bike ride down to the beach to sit on a walkway bench and enjoy a couple of cups.  With Cruisin' the Coast going on, the mean streets of Bay St. Louis are no place for bikes this weekend.  Well, at least not for any distance, not out of the neighborhood.  On to the particulars:

1. where: Corner of Beach and Ramoneda, Bay St. Louis MS

2. date: 10/11/20

3. what: home-brewed Columbian, served black out of a thermos

4. details: warm, clear day in the wake of a passing near-miss of a hurricane; CX bike

5. 2.2 miles round-trip

Soaked up a few early fall rays while sipping Columbian at a convenient bench on the boardwalk just down from my house.   Finished a Larry Niven sci-fi short story from the early 1970's, The Last Days of the Permanent Floating Riot Club, which somewhat accurately predicted flash mobs and a criminal gang making organized use of the chaos.  Very 2020, and even though the enabling tech is different, the human psychology is spot-on.  Didn't quite get a sunburn, but got all the sun I needed – or could stand.  Note to self: bring a hat next time. 

ps: For 2020, my coffeeneuring week will run Saturdays thru Fridays.  Started a day late!
