Over

Winter seems to over this week. Spring has made its appearance. On the thought of warmer temperatures, I tend to over dress for every ride. This nice weather is going to take some getting use to.

On Monday, on my ride home, I found myself on my back on the ice. I’d seen the ice coming up. I dismounted the bike to traverse it in what I thought was going to be a safe manner. Slip, flop, bam. Thankfully, wool jerseys are to bikers what Kevlar is to military personnel. I bet you didn’t know that, did you?

Or, as John Prine sings:

“For if heartaches were commercials
We'd all be on T.V.”

Do you know that one? I’d almost forgot about it until it popped up on Pandora yesterday. The chorus? It goes like this:

“Don't you know her
When you see her?
She grew up
In your back yard
Come back to us
Barbara Lewis
Hare Krishna
Beauregard”

Ride On.
