Thank You Patrick! It’s not even 8:00 in the morning here in Toledo & I’ve already learned three new words! Good ones!

Lovely bike and lovely background; I do really think that, taking all in all, SoCal in its natural state, especially near the mountains and near the ocean, might just be one of the very few most beautiful places on earth. I recall Spring rides in West LA while visiting my brother who lived in West LA, very near Venice and Santa Monica, in those days, and the heart-rending natural beauty that managed to survive in the midst of the developments and boulevards and strip malls. I lived in Pasadena for a year, Hill Street just below the smog-beclouded freeway, but I saw enough of the other parts to remember its beauty.

Patrick Moore, in ABQ, NM where the austere high desert landscape has its own beauty, augmented by the cottonwood bosque running along the Rio Grand through the middle of the city. Come to think of it, I recall reading not too long ago an encomium or panegyric by a desert Bedouin on the beauty of the Sahara desert.

Ah, spring in Pasadena. Much as I love riding in Wisconsin, this time of year I get tired of every ride being a "Spring Classic". I'll be here in LA for 4 weeks helping with the arrival of grandchild number 4. I drove here, so brought the UrHeron to meet the designer of its graphics, the incomparable Chuck Schmidt.
