scream

the other day, my wife and i were talking and the recurring desire to just scream sometimes came up in the conversation…

today in safeway and OSH, i imagined doing just that…

several times…

it probably wouldn’t have gone over too well…

closed vehicles work well…

unoccupied homes with windows and doors securely closed too…

  • Comments: Rest day instead, as we spent the evening/early AM at the ER with my Mom-In-Law…and riding on less than two hours sleep probably wouldn’t have been smart. She’s home, OK, and I’ll ride tomorrow.

I opened the blinds to the patio this morning and welcomed this “visitor”

This afternoon, I started to roll the garden hose up and discovered this “visitor”
