Halfway up the final climb on the way home today my guads abandoned me. I pleaded with them - "My guads, my guads - why have thee forsaken me?". They responded, simply "It is accomplished". "Hell no, it isn't accomplished" says I, "we aren't home yet". Alas, there was no response, for they had given up their spirits, leaving me to push my ride home in full view of many drivers.
