Well…feel a little better after getting a ride in and just had to pass this along…was on the fastest downhill section of the trail this morning and a red-tailed hawk that was perched on the fence that runs along it took off and flew right down the trail in front of me for at least 50 yards with me just about 6 feet behind and to the right. I was so close I could count the feathers on his wingtips and tail…it was the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long while….

Oh, there is a dead mouse alert on for today…must have seen 20 of them on the trail….more later…I think about the corporate money that is being used to buy the repubs again…
