Pictures and Portends

My wit, sometimes too earthy humor, valuable information and advice keep people coming back to the blog. But it is pictures that really keep people interested. Like a good coffee table book a blog needs photos.

Took a ride today. Here are the gravel paths around the detention ponds near the Hoyt Park Trails. The site I suggested for an “It’s April You Fool” race. Though in April the trails may not be fit to ride the gravel would hold out. Maybe some cyclocross style runs up and down some grassy knolls. Want to ride the Himalayas? I got an e-mail from these guys.

The other side of the road has more. Several runners and walkers were using the paths.The mountain bike trails had a few wet spots but were in fairly good condition. Tomorrow will be an odd Tuesday ride. I believe it will be the first. I need to follow the site more. I missed the e-mail about the Sunday trail work day they held yesterday afternoon. One of the first times I would have been free. The Wednesday time trials will begin soon at The Rock; The Alpha Trail.

Not sure if this is connected to the flood control plan but it is a picture.

What will the rest of May bring? How will the summer play out? May 1st has been an important date for different cultures and of course the communists. Some consider snow a good sign and it snowed heavy in Northern Wisconsin. In the orient they say a families fortunes are shaped by the landscape of burial plots and many of my family are buried in the north.

Here at home our peach blossoms bloomed on May 1st. Who knows if it is a sign of changing fortunes for us.

We found ourselves in that socialist haven called Greenfield. Took some interest in a local artist.

I checked my settings and yes, I do have the settings at “anyone” for comments. Maybe people don’t like money.

Here is the $8 question anyway. I went to a movie with my classmate who put me onto the magazine of $6 question fame and one other. What movie did the three of us go to see when we were in High School?
