Bike Ride Observations

Jeff and I just got back from a lunchtime bike ride along the Centennial Trail to Gonzaga and back, then through Riverfront Park. And no, it wasn't exactly like in the picture because it was raining. That didn't bother us though. We still saw some interesting sights, including:

- Three adults who should know better trying to feed a really fat squirrel that I'm convinced was infected with rabies

- A woman walking on the trail wearing a dry cleaning bag tied around her head with the remainder of it blowing out behind her like a cape

- A large group of guilty-looking chefs from a local restaurant taking a smoke break behind an air conditioning unit (That was at about 12:30. Shouldn't they have been cooking something about then?)

- Too many people walking in the lane designated for bikes, then not making any effort to move when we came through.
