Bee in my bonnet
Well, not actually something I saw, but put my helmet on to ride off to work this morning and heard a buzzing in my ear. Startled me a bit, but whatever it was wasn't going to get a free ride to work, so took it off and a fly flew off. First time that happened-must have been the cold weather.
Glad it wasn't a wasp. |

I had the wasp. Just as I was about to start my last 140 kph lap on the Autobahn. I had to do a six-hour ride as part of my driving lessons. The instructor was urging me on, but I stopped and took off the helmet. Good thing I did.

Bright Cemetery
Actually discovered this a while back whilst looking for old cemeteries in the area.
A couple miles away, tucked in the edge of a field, is a lone gravesite, of "Elmer Bright and his team of horses" ![]() Which begs a few questions....why buried alone? Must have been his land. Married? Hope not. Did his horses precede or follow him in death? As he died in 1939, doubt if anyone's around to explain anything. ![]() |

Saw a body covered by a white sheet lying on the side of the highway on my way to work this morning. No cars around except police. Creepy way to start the day.

Yeah. Florida.
I just found out that it was a pedestrian hit by a car that went off the road and into the woods. That's why I didn't see the car. It is not a common walking place, no sidewalk but I have seen people walking there before. Maybe a little suspicious. |

Think about what a well made mountain bike costs with good gears, disc brakes and high-end chocks/suspension. This has all this plus the 49cc engine, heavy duty rack, fuel can and other rugged extras! |

clarification.
I read Sticky's post a couple more times. I believe he was calling the accident suspicious by nature, not the pedestrian being there. And, after reading Sticky's posts for a couple years, that seems to fit his logic. I'd be s'prised if I had this wrong...

It turns out it was a guy who went off the shoulder, over-corrected and crossed to the other side, through a ditch and into the trees. He climbed out of his car and walked back to the road and dropped dead. Only 49 years old. His family put a monument there. |

We have a new roundabout in the city of Oceanside, California, on Pacific Coast Highway. Not all that common here in the states. Yesterday, following a old pickup truck with yard equipment/workers in it, comes up to the entry and just stops. There is NOONE in the roundabout Noone approaching. Nada, zip, nein, zilch...
After a bit I honk my Vespa horn. They flip me off, but do finally figure out how to drive thru it. |

Not so much what I see, but what I keep hearing. I'm sitting in the dealership while Rosie 2.0 gets her first service and heated hand grips. I keep hearing other customers talk about "waiting for a good day to ride". Isn't every day above 35 degrees F, a good day to ride?

Yesterday morning I saw ice. It was outside, it was made by nature and was not in cube form. It wasn't even in a glass! I am still traumatized...
