Recently, a very nice square that I am still kicking myself for not picking up, and a gun. And then there was the Tar Baby Rat Fetus, which I would link to the story of, but don't know how. But if you just search that phrase, you can find the story...

More stuff...
Things I picked up:
Last year, a working bike pump that apparently fell off during someone's commute.
At the Zion century last month: a string of ruby red glass beads, probably a bracelet.
Things I've left:
dead bunny, lots of cans, badminton racquet, NAILS, the NAILS, Clif Bar wrappers, dirty diapers
, car parts, a sock, a shoe, a perfectly good-looking sweater...

I recently rode past a vintage Schwinn ten speed ... my size and everything, with those cool old-style bars .... with a free sign on it. Not the best shape but a wonderful project. I rode home as fast as I could, grabbed the dog, hopped in the truck, raced back up the hill ... but it was gone.
At least the dog enjoyed the ride.

funny the things you see....
I was just thinking about this yesterday. I rode down a dead end street to look at the bay, a street I've ridden on probably 100 times. I noticed a cross street named "Cookie Lane." Of course that had me thinking about cookies for the next 10 miles but even weirder, was why had I never noticed it before?
I started the ride with a warm up loop around my development - just a 1/2 mile loop. At the back half I saw 6 deer in someone's front yard. They started to run back to the woods, but maybe they never saw a cyclist before, cause halfway there, a couple of them stopped, and turned to look at me - just to stare. I had to laugh. Now it is not uncommon to see deer around the neighborhood at dusk in the wintertime when no one is out and about, but yesterday was 66o, sunny, and lots of people and cars around and it was 2pm. Very odd indeed.
