Friday. Left a little before 9:30. Blacksmith. Shower in the area, pulling away toward the east; no one drop from above, but wet roads all the way to the Goyerbrug. On the cool side at the start. Southwesterly winds, and excellent clearing skies full of white and gray clouds. Wayen to Langeweg and 't-Goy (Groenedijkje), and across the Goyerbrug. Beusichemseweg just a few cars, same for the Lekdijk toward Tull en 't Waal. First the fine and shifting views of Culemborg. Riverbanks as lovely as ever, with or without summer-levee. Strijpweg to Beatrix- and Plofsluis; Jutphase brug and Merwedekanaal back into town. Leaving from CW a big downpour that continued for fifteen or twenty minutes, so bikewash in the backyard. In the news reports that the administration will end security assistance programs to bolster NATO's eastern flank, the one facing Russia. Not only will this president not take direct steps against the thug in the Kremlin, apparently he is working to make life easier for him, undercutting what are supposed to be allied countries. Par for the course and yet another argument for redoubling European investments in its defense.
