Hedging my apples!

December 8, 2015

Hola amigas y amigos. 

Happy Chanukah to you.  Let’s piñata con tilda y menorahs, eh? 

Additionally, let’s also get some jiggy down town with bicicletas, no? con dos question marko reversos?

As you may have guessed, I’ve nearly finished watching season 2 of Eastbound and Down.  For those of you who are not familiar with this series, Eastbound and Down is about bicycling and baseball.  It is also about the Americas’ banana hammock we call Mexico.  Let’s bailar! 

I have also been toting around the energetic and engaging Toddler Snot in his carriage of comfortable courage.  Here ‘tis.

Yes, that is a Nashbar Kid Karriage  2II.  Yes, it is awesome.  And yes I will enumerate the reasons why in an upcoming review on Nashbar's website.  

I have also been on bicycling in a beautiful area of Wichita, Kansas that is know to locals as Miller’s Meadows. 

It was fun.  It also did not require much pedaling.  Here is about as much relief in topography as was available.

There were some bumpy stream crossings 

and some log rides that were enjoyable.  Also a plenitude of Osage oranges and/or hedge apples.

When I was a child my bro and neighbor friends would take part in a fun game we liked to call pinecone wars.  We would gather up a gaggle of cones, go to our separate hidey spots, and, after we all counted to 100 or so we would come out and seek to beam one another with pinecones.  Well, one race that should probably become popular at Miller’s Meadows is one called the Hedge Apple Hulabaloo and/or the Osage Orange Outbreak.  As you may have foreseen, this event would entail hucking hedge apples and/or Osage oranges at each other while riding bicycles through the tight, 

twisty turns of M’s M.  Now there’s a good way to liven up the flat!

I know it’s a lot to take in, but that is what I have been up to.  So there!  As Kenny Power’s and/or Matthew McConaughey would say, “Suck your dream’s cock!”

Also, if your dream's cock happens to be working for a non-profit bicycling organization, please check out this sweet ass job opening.  I would try to apply, but dealing with people in a motivating manner is not my forte con accente.

Let's bob for dream apples!  Ay, yi, yi!
