Snow Day

anthonys · 11-27-2007

Well I punched my way back out of Texas. Even though the weather took a turn for the chilly, or "cold" as they call it down there, I got in a passel of good rides before the frunnal system moved in. (If you've ever been delivered the weather report from a genuine good ol' boy weather forecaster in Texas, you'll understand and appreciate the fact that there is not, nor does there need to be, a "t" in frunnal system)

So here's a redux from a week ago:

sleeveless jerseys and the humming of Townes' "Texas River Song"

"Li, li, li, le, le, le
Lend me your hand
There's many a river
That waters the land"

'Course it ain't really a river, more of a creek, or crick type of arrangement.

Fast forward to yesterday.

It being post-Thanksgiving, I decided to switch out ot something a bit more seasonal in color.

Now the temptation here is to get into a greater than, less than debate and start riffing on the theme of "oh, goshie it is so much nicer to ride in the warm sun." But I can say without a scrap of disingenuity that a good romp though the snow is always a treat, not to be cast aside amidst carking concerns over cold toes and whatnot.

Plus we ran into these guys:

(hfly, got your ears on? These were pretty unique in execution)
