When I passed these guys this morning I couldn't believe my eyes... just had to turn around for a picture. They live only about a mile from my house.

Ah, yes, Camelus dromedarius, one humped camel.

When you run across two humped camels send another picture.

Old, abandoned Mobil Station/Grocery Store in Powhatan County, VA. I pass it just about every day while on my Vespa.

Out on a ride earlier this year. The road curves near to a local bike trail. On my way past I saw this. I turned around and actually got off my bike to look around and make sure nobody was in trouble. The wheelchair was behind a gate for a service road that joins the trail to the main road.

Only time I have ever seen a wheelchair abandoned like that. If I’d had the truck I might have brought it home because … free wheelchair.
