Well..there are so many things in my head right now that I sometimes think that the thoughts are going to bleed out my ears…or maybe that is happening right now…I’ll have to check…nope…nothing but soap from the shower after the bike ride. But, maybe that explains why I forgot about this bit of weirdness that happened yesterday…out on the bike and normally, there are a few grasshoppers on the pavement but they are easy to miss and I always try…but, yesterday, there were thousands of them everywhere; jumping into the air when I got near and it reminded me of the videos of that river in Illinois that the carp jump out of when boats go by. I must have had 20 or 30 of them plastered to the front of my shirt and had to keep my mouth closed or I would have eaten at least a few of them. Compounding that strangeness, today they were back to normal and it looked like any other day….match that one….

Oh, the observation. Well…part of my trail runs along M-6 and this morning, I looked up to see the coolest semi-truck I’ve ever seen…it was a modern one but looked like an update of a 30′s truck with a v-shaped, chrome, art deco like grill that resembled the front end of the streamlined trains of the same period. I still think things should look good….
