Random musings

I had a biz related ride from Creston, CA to California City, Ca.
Oh how it sucked.

I saw a full-on cattle drive, with hundreds of cows
blocking the road
fresh urine and poop
on the 85 degree asphalt top
and it smelled great, really, an acquired smell
Recall my friends father, a farm kid
living in the city
hated the fact
everything so clean
no assault to the senses
no farm around town..
he would have been happy today on 58 RIP, Earl Krick
these smells for you

I rode across high desert and smelled chapparal
crossed the centerline and passed slow-pokes just in time
the FJR powerband at 8k is enough to blow the mind

Red Rock Canyon is beautiful at sunset
a wild coyote crossing the lane
trapped by the fence line
that man maintains
he made it safely
wonder if he'll find a mate
does he know it's Friday?
It's just another survival day
in a dog eat dog world.

Saw a CHP pilot in his little foo-foo plane
decided that he couldn't out run me -
wicked it up guess I was lucky, don't have to pay a fee
wonder if the mail will cause me some pain?

Rode at night, something I don't like
learned some lessons all right?
Dirty shields screw up the light
of on-coming cars
and naked glasses don't go far
they soon distract and defract the light
a little water and rag
clean the shield
make things all right

Lights blind, turn the head
gutter ride, like Tocutter said
saved my ass when the car illegally passed
saw the trim of the bumper, one foot away
as I rode the white line
giving up my right of way
the gutter is your friend

the temperatures rise and fall
grape harvest in full swing
I see the lights of the vineyard machines
the bugs are bad
and smack at will
I arrive at the house safe and sound
