Towel Day is celebrated on this date each year as a tribute to the author Douglas Adams by his fans. Fans openly carry a towel with them, as described in Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, to demonstrate their appreciation for the books and the author. The commemoration was first held in 2001, two weeks after Adams' death on May 25. Now that I'm traveling full time, I always have two towels with me, a bath sheet and a hand towel. They're almost always hanging in the back of the van to dry.

The day was quite cool, and the sky couldn't decide whether to get sunny. It finally did, just as I finished. I'm feeling quite well, after my cold, so I'll drive over the hill tomorrow to join the club for my first ever climb up Mount Hamilton. Overnight oats are in the fridge (and an alarm set to remind me to eat them before the ride, since I often forget), the coffee pot is ready to go on the butane stove. All to save a few minutes in the morning, because I take longer than everyone else to get ready once I reach the start, so I like to leave extra early.
