Good memories from my ride in to work this morning....
Although I got off to a late start, I have several good memories from my ride into work this morning.
1. Weather was cooler - finally.
2. Last minute switch from a rack pack to a new grocery bag pannier meant I didn't have to switch stuff from my messenger bag to my rack bag (consolidation). I think I might like this new system.
3. Stopped to get a tag for the Wheelset of Fortune
4. Beat the bus into town (spent the last 15 minutes of my ride ON the bus route, so I can confirm he did not beat me).
5. Found a dollar rolling down Beaver Avenue. Not only beat the bus into work, but earned a dollar in the process.
6. I was stopped rather suddenly in front of the casino main entrance by a double line of unmoving cars. I didn't have enough room to filter forward safely, so stayed about 3 cars back from front cars. Then noticed the cause of backup. A gaggle of about 30 geese crossing the road. I wish I could have gotten my camera out in time to grab a photo.
Why don't I ride to work everyday? Oh yeah, some days I have to be in far away places.......

Isn't "geese" code for old farts waddling from their tour buses into the casino?

@ALMKLM - maybe most days, but this morning these were the hissing, honking sort of waterfowl. It really was a sight that I'll remember for a while. They were stretched all the way across the four lane road, more or less in a single file line, waddling at their own pace.

Good day!
I think you encountered the gamboling geese and not the gambling geese.

No, that would be a gaggle of gambling geezer geese.
