I Passed a . . . . this Morning

Due to my favoring a hip that is not gettting any better, I ride pretty slow, and am used to being passed.

This morning, looking ahead, I saw an ORANGE bicycle - and it looked as if it was going slower than I was. Aha, I said to myself, I am going to pass something!! Whoopee.

So, I make sure my bell is all tuned up, I get "that look" on my face, increase my cadence, get closer so I can see more and - YES - I passed that . . .





















Orange riding lawnmower with no difficulty whatsoever. (I don't think the driver noticed my "look," though )

I've done that, too. Five in one year a few years back - caused by a medication I was taking - and more previous to that.

I've had one. That was more than enough. I'd rather go through childbirth again; at least you get something good to keep when your finished!

Keep the stones and make a necklace or maracas with them.
