Cold Blooded...
You meet the strangest creatures on a Minnesota bikepath. Let's review the conditions: November, 43°F, cloudy. What on Earth is this fellow doing smack in the middle of the...

He just stared at me, but a voice in my head said "Look it up!" So I did: "Well, it turns out that frogs and toads, particularly in the Northeast and other colder climates, spend their winters quietly tucked away while they hibernate in the mud at the bottom of lakes, carefully concealed in logs and tucked under leaf litter. Some toads even bury themselves to hibernate." The lake was only twenty feet away... https://i.imgur.com/eQDet5W.png "Hey buddy, a little help?" |

You see my dilemma. He had just come from the swamp side of the path, so I figured he didn't want to go back there. So I decided to heed the Star Trek Prime Directive of non-interference... :innocent: Does that make me a Bad Person? |

Looking back, it's been about ten years since I've had the full drum kit together. It was a jazz/bebop setup in the interim. Lots more to do, but this is the starting point.

I was out for a ride yesterday.....very rural area, no houses. I am speeding along; there walking down the street was a chicken. No houses for a mile or so in any direction. Just a chicken; no, she was not crossing the road; just walking like she had some where to be. Unfortunately no photo.

Anyhow, I recently joined a local softball team of old dudes. We play Sunday mornings. Some of the people need pinch runners because they can't make it around the bases without having a blowout. Anyway, it was the perfect occasion to break out my classic and vintage original baseball glove, one of only two i've ever owned (i still have the other one as well).. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/845/4...150f9891_b.jpg I'd put it at about 32 years old. |
Last week I had reason to pass through the Philly airport where a bunch of cool bikes stuff was on display, courtesy of Via Bicycle.
