Echoes of memory pass through time and keep fresh events that those not even born will feel their importance…

Just typing on info…
The fact about facts… you can have all the facts but not enough information to make good decisions. In fact information doesn’t change the truth of what you know… but can change your truth about what think you know.
I take a hike…
You can search the internet, read all about trails and be told how short and easy some trails can be. Then you get there and find the short easy trek described as moderate to steep and equal to going up 8 flights of stairs…
Some times the best response is no response!
As the car moved over to my lane… I kept walking. I was going 2 mph he at least five. Still I thought it a bit odd…
I keep rollin along…
Use to be I just looked for the proper sized bicycle tire… now I sort through: road, touring, gravel, cruiser, training, mountain, performance, slick, urban and all sorts of tire types to decide what to ride on. One site listed a tire as “road” until it reached  the width of 700 x 32 then it transformed into a gravel tire.
The way we wish things were…
When you consider all the statues at the Vatican that put fig leafs on statues and broke off body parts; it is easy to see we want to recall history by current standards and not standards of the times they were created. When the WWII memorial was created the statue of FDR covered up his chair (the one’s with wheels)… which makes an odd looking statue that leaves to the imagination his reality.
I like to add to history not take away. Why is removal of historical realities the only option to deal with today’s issues?
Part III Bike ride across Iowa 2017
I had a few more pictures to show before I put away the memories of this years bike ride across Iowa…
True non-news
I will still speak of fairness, openness, kindness and being nice. In my mail box today was a note from the White House… not a news worthy event just a non-news event. I could express thoughts that distract and divide but instead feel and hope for unity and good. Perhaps that is the real news… I still believe in the value of objective fairness and goodwill.
Part II: 2017 Bike Ride Across Iowa
Everyone wins… you get on a bike any bike and ride… short or long… fast or slow. You win just by doing…
2017 Bike Ride Across Iowa
For the 19th time I took to the road on my bicycle and rode across Iowa. Wonder, fun and joy came along each day.
