Is there any doubt why we are riding bikes in St Armands Circle? Actually this is the same front that went thru Alabama yesterday and last night. It wasn’t nearly as bad here as it was there.

Back when I was a kid, 4-eyes, Rocky, Cotton and I would play cow pasture football. Of course the object of the game was to take the football (generally a wad of newspaper, footballs were expensive) from one end of the field with out getting knocked down or stepping in something. Of course, the highlight of the day was to tackle someone so they fell in the cow patty. Today I have been playing Bird Sanctuary Dock. The object of the game was to get from one end of the dock to the other without stepping in something. These people need a good Remington 1100.

There are three yacht clubs here in Sarasota. We are at the Bird Key Club, which is on Bird Key. How about that. The Sarasota Yacht Club is just down the road a short distance. Carole and I have renamed it the Sarasota Yacht and Tent Revival Club. They have torn down all their facilities and have moved into a big tent. My partner in crime John sent me a link to a YouTube site that might just fit right in here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFNeE_W5VZU It looks like a typical construction site with dust, cranes, construction debris. I am glad we chose Bird Key.

We have some good friends who are making a motor home trip across the country to Oregon. Peg has started a blog of their trip. Her personality really comes out in what she is writing. This is the link if you would like to follow her adventures. http://www.pegsontheroad.blogspot.com

We will be out early tomorrow for 30 more miles and 7 bridges.
