Ha! Strip changing during the day…
I won’t be on THAT ride tonight, as there isn’t one organized locally. However, I’m “out there” on my bike everyday, riding to work etc. … and, not only, but -also- for those lost, prayer flags wave behind me and one special “mantra” spins around written on the rim of my front wheel…
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
‘Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence RIP Fred <by Simon & Garfunkel>
Good one…
‘Ride of Silence’ – in honour of the fallen – especially Fred! RIP
(The only good things being his ghost helping Yehuda in the fire etc…)
I’ll be out there tonight. Sadly, a coworker was lost this year.
I am sorry to hear that – R.I.P.

He looks good.

Good one, Pops. Very apropos.
Wonderful, Pops. Wonderful strip, Rick. Keep the wheels turnin’.
I stood there
alone
in the rain
staring at the sad image
of a bicycle
that marked the tragic end
of a life too short
Anger
frustration
and fear
that someday
one might mark
where I fell
I cannot stop riding
but I feel the loss
of all those who
were cut down
and pray that
someday
somehow
the slaughter
will end
For Austin
Poor ghosts. They lose all concept of time.
