Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Birds of a feather.
my little Roscoe does that with the stuffed animal toy and adds a celebratory prance which is cute.

Your main street looks prosperous. I used to spend a lot of time upstate and I miss it.

That's Skaneateles, near today's race venue. About 40 miles from home.

Even more disturbing than the bicycle is the fact that your trees are already dead. It's not even mid-October.

1) I am not an SEC fan, I root for the mighty KSU Owls of the big South conference.
2) Gambling problem?

1) Don't watch TV save for baseball and college football.
2) Twitter? Are you trying to kill me? SMH.

Many years ago I had an account at SunTrust Bank. Just an FYI.
