Spotted on my AM ride out in the boonies today:

I guess you had to be there.

BTW, for the first time ever, I had a chance to crush souls. I encountered two riders and overtook them, going up a hill, even.

Like an offensive linesman who for the first time in his career recovers a fumble in the end zone and has no idea how to celebrate, I didn't really know what to do, so I just rode along side them and chatted. One was my age, the other in his late 60's. Both very nice. I told them they sucked.

Just kidding. For humility I went down and rode up Wibble Hill Road.

Anyway, clear skies and temperature in the low 60s. Nothing but good sensations today.

I guess that's it.

I know you are a rookie at soul crushing but hope you had the moxie that once past the two riders you sat up and took a long drink while riding away, no matter how much it hurt.:p Don't worry about celebrations, some guys were always asked to "hike the ball" on school yard games, then grew up to hike the ball in college and pro games.:D

We've got a few decorations going up around these parts, but not as good as those in your shots.

The only soul I crush is my own.

The only soul I crush is my own.

Me, too, and I do it regularly.

As to fame
the grave yard in my home town was used in the origional B & W "Night of the Living Dead

I once rented a rural Alabama house with a graveyard in the front yard. Dates on the grave stones were 1888 circa.

George Washington had an arrow shot at him by a native american. That happened near where i grew up

My wife and i entered Dennys and the seater ask "two?" I looked at my wife and counted me and her and i said "the last time i checked"
