The Old and the Restless

Above is an injury where my pedal scraped one leg. My arms and the other leg were cut and bruised also. Perhaps my doctor put a hex on me insisting I have a tetanus shot before going cycling this weekend. Because it was Sunday we passed several carriages of Mennonites. This one is approaching the "Kissing Bridge" at Montrose. Entering the bridge. We were told that the Mennonite horses are re...
