Torpid Pines

I actually got up went for a ride this morning! I woke up at 6:30, ate the flakes, suited up, watched a couple minutes of the Hawaiians, said my good-byes, and headed west. It was a little chilly out, so I wore the bright yellow jacket.

I saw my reflection in an office window, which looked kinda neat, so I took a picture.

Then I took one WITHOUT the flash.

Reflections II

Then I made a crummy movie.



On the Rose Canyon bike path I saw this little bit of strangeness.

But then again, I was getting near to UCSD...

Some dolt in a defective (non-working turn indicators?) Porsche got in my way near the Tritons atheletic center. Maybe he could have spared a hand for the turn signal stalk if he wasn't yapping on his cell phone!

Watered up and ate an Albertson's granola bar at Torrey Pines State Park. Took these couple pics.

Headed back through UCSD. Noticed this warning sign. Seems irrelevant.

Found this picture on Montezuma Road. Now, normally, I wouldn't have even NOTICED a picture on the side of the road. But I was stopped, resting taking off my Screaming Yellow Jacket.

If you know these people, let me know. What's the story with this happy picture laying discarded on the side of the road?

Or, make up a story!

Why Torpid Pines? I couldn't think of anything more clever. I AM torpid, now!
