Lots has happened at LifeWOW since getting started just a few short months ago! :)

LifeWOW will have several components, which will clarify the purpose of the project.

Already, we have a cool couple of projects here, including the fun-to-play LifeFLOW, and the fascinating LifeTUBS. With more yet to come, this is quickly becoming a favorite part of Worlds O Wisdom.

WOW! :)
Made it!!! :)
Barely!!!!!!!!!! :)
After lots of hard riding, grinding through easy terrain but rough weather, with the bike struggling in its hacked-together condition… Lots of little pauses, to adjust the chain, to eat and drink, to duck out of the rain… One charming little pie shop had an amazing collection of Southern foods, cook books, and other delights.
As I was nearing Charleston, slightly later than anticipated, the road shoulder disappeared, traffic was heavy, and the bike was struggling to make headway. So, pushing the bike, I walked along for a bit, thinking, when a truck driver stopped and offered me a ride into town. Now my whole body is in pleasant pain from the long haul up here. I'm tired yet happy! :)
The folks here tend to be very friendly. Also, there's lots of lush greenery, with so much sunshine and water. The architecture and history date way back, and the city of Charleston, like the whole region, has done very well at maintaining the old qualities while still advancing.
I'm planning to spend at least a few days here resting up, repairing, recuperating, …
I love South Carolina!!! :)

By the way, the place where I wrote last post from was at the plantation where Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin. Lots of plantations around here, including some old rice ones. Today the area increasingly does manufacturing, services including tourism, and more modern activities.
More soon….
Rock & Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Transitions! :)

Lots on the go, just quickly a few things for now, more words and media later...
Just crossing out of Georgia, into the Carolinas and beyond. New territory for this trip on the way up the Atlantic coast!!! :)
Tons of challenges along the way, including the destruction of my bicycle's rear derailleur. After several interventions, I finally just performed field surgery on the thing and made it run on a single gear.
Likewise, mucho map confusion, as the signage here is extremely complex, and most of the locals (including even at gas stations) don't seem to have a solid interest in navigation or communication. Still, lots of friendly folks and wayfinding and beautiful scenery!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Also extreme heat and humidity, it's consistently reaching over a hundred degrees Fahrenheit, plus humidity, makes it tough just to be outside, let alone ride hard, although the wind and the sun and the rain and the road and everything feel wonderful!!!!!!!!! :)
Covered in grease and dirt and sunblock and insect repellent and insects and plants and sweat and blood and hopes and fears and experiences and expectations and so much more, it feels so.... lively!!! :)

Rock & Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
