    Woohoo, Mary! That's awesome news about the Seven in the works. I'm glad to hear that you're riding again. I know it's not at the distances/pace that you're used to, but that will all be a matter of time. More healing vibes headed your way that you'll soon be able to do it pain free.

    Salsa - Smudging, as I understand it, is a ritual to clear out bad or negative energy (kind of similar to an exorcism). So I think Mary wants to do a ride past the spot where the collision took place to help her past the negative feelings she has associated to it.

    When are you planning to do the ride, Mary?

    Thanks, SG! Hell, yeah, I'd like to join that smudge ride.

    You have to burn a smudge stick.
    It would be cool if you could attach it to your bike somehow.

    MP - your post is a good prompt...as I also recently learned (from my sweet son and d-i-l) that I'll be a brand new grandparent in October...they used my "grand-dog", Macy, to formally convey the message to other friends; see the attached pic! baby Seven will arrive and be used first though!

    Yeah, I've been teasing my d-i-l, that Macy looks suspicious about the dress-up and photo session. She replied that it took lots of peanut butter and tummy rubs to coax her, but all of our family and friends know that Macy is already their furry-baby, so it fit!

    That is possibly the funniest and cutest announcement I've ever seen. Congrats on adding to your family.
