Mook's Derby Picks:

I'm going with Always Dreaming for the win this year. McCraken and Hence for place and show. It was hard to rule out Classic Empire however.

My dark horse would be Battle of Midway.

I was out tonight running on a loop through Himmel Park and the UofA. Running north into the UMC I found out the entire place, more or less, has turned into a giant disaster zone with a confusing maze of dead end walkways through construction sites with effluent hospital waste oozing out of the buildings and down into the streets. I was turned around for a long while before I could finally get going north again, but not before I was passed by a mangy-looking coyote trotting down the street in the opposite direction, probably on his way back into the mess, hoping to eek out a meagre existence on bloody bandages or the odd sewer rat.

Biking with my dad from Rio Vista west, down the SC a ways and around a new loop down towards the river and by the Sunset Road Bridge before returning.

I went my route on the AZT from Sahuarita Road south to the forest service boundary and back this morning.

It was very nice out! Uncrowded though since I only saw one other person on a Saturday that may be the last nice one for a long while.
No smoke was evident from the Sawmill Fire, which burned across the Box Canyon and part of the Greaterville o' maps a few days ago.
