So, the trail that runs between Crosby regional park to Lilydale park in St Paul is suppose to be one of the prettiest in Minnesota. With new found freedom after a grueling 2 weeks subconsulting in the unit and having less sleep in a week than most of you get on the weekend I headed out like a bat out of hell for St Paul. Due to the paucity of signs, I never did find Lilydale park and instead ended up at the U of M. WTF indeed. But, the ride was pretty.
Passed this art museum along the way (http://www.weisman.umn.edu/) but was too grotty to even dare walk in. 
This being my last week here and I mean my last week plus the fact that I do not foresee myself coming by this way again anytime soon, I decided to go the whole hog(after a little nudge) and got something nice to drive. Once again I realise that I'm a real car nut as I couldn't wipe that silly grin off my face the whole day. Not to say that the Mustang is an inspiring drive, far from in fact. The T5 is whole lot faster despite having have the capacity(it has a 4L engine under the hood that feels very much like the ford explorer, strange). The suspension is soft and steering vague. The brakes don't bite. Finally, no self respecting sports car should have an antenna sticking out of the hood that just breaks the lines. But, and a big but there, it's got one saving grace - it's a convertible! With the gorgeous weather today, driving topless was nothing short of awe inspiring.
And that's another reason to get a folding bike!
Tonight, I drink to a good nights sleep without my pager going off at 3am. Just twisted the screw-top off a Mitolo Jester - a nice big Australian Shiraz.
