This morning was a tad cool, mid 40's...
Yet, I braved it, and went for a ride around town. Rode on a few familiar streets, thinking, "OK, I remember this... oh, look, I remember that!" Then of course there was a few moments of, "WTF? That wasn't there before!" And of course the, "Where did it go?!"
I marvel at how much has remained the same, yet how much has changed! I lived in TUC for several years... attended the UofA... started out as a Paramedic here...
As I saw the cloud band moving in, I retreated. Didn't quite make it before the rain began... So I stopped at a bar & grill. A few bikes out front, figured a good place to stop and have lunch/wait out the storm.
Now, since I ride, I can pull in almost anywhere like this, as long as it is on a bike, and be welcomed. If I come in as a 'cager,' a brief discussion and explanation, is at hand, and usually, all is well. Today was no exception!
I still left and rode "home" in the rain... and as I started up, I saw in my rearview, my peers...
Peace!
