Left just after 9:15. Blacksmith, in spite of recent showers and lingering sprinkles. Cooler, with gusty winds out of the west, strong enough to bring down small branches. Good skies, with moving white and gray clouds and room for sun. Blauwkapel to Hooge Kampse Plas to Bilthoven and Den Dolder. The high-speed bike path to Amersfoort is finished--good for safe and swift riding, but in the end it's still a new concrete road alongside the woods where there used to be a trail and more trees. Probably a price worth paying if it gets some folks out of their cars. Berg by way of my Belgian segment, then down Utrechtseweg. At the Arnhemseweg a sudden, unexpected, and unobstructed view of the tower in the old city. Korte Bergstraat to tunnel to Soesterkwartier, which had just received a real rain shower, then Hilhorstweg. Coming through the left curve, suddenly the Oude Kerk in the distance. Up the Eng. The crops and wildflowers are rising fast. Left to Molenstraat, Smitsweg, and Dorpsstreek all the way to Wieksloterweg. Maartensdijk to Groenekan. Newspaper from Van der Neut. A guest column on who gets to have nuclear weapons and why, covering some relevant aspects but by no means all. As if to illustrate the extent to which the international system built after 1945 has disintegrated, it didn't contain even one reference to the NPT.
