Why did the deer cross the road?

Yep, other side. This was about 2 blocks from new house, family out for a Sunday stroll.

In Utah – and in the West in general – most places are “open range”, meaning cows can (and will) graze just about anywhere; there are no fences. This was on the bike trails just a few miles north of town:

Bessie says “Eat more chicken! Or rabbit!”

Rabbit’s response isn’t repeatable here.

Demo Bike 2

Sunny and nice on the weekend – time for another demo bike!

Process

About 1/3 the price of the last one…. and *so* much better. Handled like a bike instead of a truck. Hey Santa?

Snow!

It snowed overnight…. up above 10,000 feet. Still 60 degrees and sunny here.

This is the view from our current house (and yes, there should be a law about power lines).

Demo Bike

Since it was my birthday (39, thanks for asking) and I have no working bikes at the moment… why not rent one?

Light rain and muddy… good day to rent a bike, you don’t need to wash it afterwards! Funny how photography works, though – bike in the pic is *filthy*, but looks just fine.

(Nice bike, not convinced about the handling though, and pretty sure I don’t want to spend $8K+ for it).
