On a bicycle I get to see things I would have missed had I been driving a car.

The road back…
I like to think that now that I am back riding my bicycle… things will return to the way they were. Only way to find out is to pedal until they do.
The higher road…
I grew up at a time when taking the higher road was the road that was traveled by folks like Martin Luther King & Nat King Cole. It was one that I wanted to travel. Perhaps many see greater success by taking a lower path… but my heart belongs to those who chose the harder path.
Two wrongs are never right…
I still can not get around the concept of repeating a wrong…. because someone else started it leads to anything good!
285 letters sent…
I have passed the half-way point in my letter writing to Congress. So much effort goes into division that I thought a “little effort” toward understanding and unity would was worth my time.
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…
The value of words…
A warm day in winter…
Spring is a month away… but the weather has been warm enough think winter’s day is done. As much as I enjoy the cool but warm day… it seems to early to see flowers and trees with green leaves. I will go with the flow and hope the summer does not continue this trend of heat and just enjoy the nice of nice days and nights.
Good attracts good…
Picked up my bike, and the bike shop reduced my bill by 50%… I did not get upset that I had driven 84 miles and my bike was not ready. I did not ask anything but they took on themselves to only charge for parts. One of the reason’s I stay with them. I did right by them, they did right by me. (Passing thought, people think that by yelling and making demands gets results. When I worked at a restaurant, a customer made a big deal about his dinner and wanted it done over…. it was a spaghetti dinner. The head cook, dipped into a pot of steaming hot spaghetti sauce, poured it over the dinner and sent it back. The customer was happy…)
Looking for good!
I walked outside and passed by a weed… then I noticed a flower and decided I would spend the day on the good! Nice thoughts, good people and nice things.
