No Waste

Every day i see a government doing something for itself. Every day i see a government doing nothing for the people. So much waste. Every so often you read about some country, somewhere in the world, whose president, or premier, or prime minister, or whatever term they use for the person at the head of the government is removed from the office, and they have to go through this whole period of coalition building to elect a new head of state. I always thought those types of systems sounded terribly chaotic and undemocratic, but you know, maybe they've got something there. So much waste.

You know what isn't a waste? Of course you do. You knew i was going to say a bike ride is never a waste. And if it is a good ride, like today's ride was...

well, so much the better. It is the weekend - get out and make a difference, there is no waste in that either!

no getting through the jungle today

big patches of monkey flower

lupine in the grass

sweet ribbon of dirt

someone, or somethings might as well get some use out of the flooded picnic tables

yes, it was a bit muddy getting back to the truck
