THIS WEEK—

I saw a young fellow--likely a teenager--move a couple of bags from his shopping cart into his car and immediately discard the cart in the adjacent parking space.

He then hopped in his car and roared off through the Wal-Mart parking lot—all the while yakking on his cell phone.

Yup! It was from handicapped parking spaces just outside the store’s front door.

I hope his cell phone exploded.



BICYCLING—

Yesterday I hurled my aging bones at the Rule Road hill with the mountain bike; my first attempt of the season.

The effort revved up the cardiorespiratory system several notches and I was compelled to shift to the lowest gears but, the ascent was successful.

It’s about a 235 foot climb in less than a mile to the top of the ridge.

I’m grateful the mature guy that lives in this body can ignore how old the chassis is.
