Crazy truckers!

 

So this was accident #2 that I observed yesterday that involved a semi-truck.  It was as I was leaving the brewery, one of the trucks must have tried to pull a U-turn and didn't quite make it.  As you can see, the trailer crashed into the roof of the guard shack at the brewery and he kept going until it dented the entire side of the trailer and pushed the trailer over far enough so that it was only riding on the right tires!  I couldn't believe it, seems so dumb.. but really funny to see.

Fall-ing More for You

:-) Thanks for getting the pumpkins for us. I had a blast carving them and baking and eating the seeds.

Before Abby ate your dog! Good thing we got pictures!

Lovely view outside my office window yesterday:

Even though it was raining, I thought this was a great day of eating with you :)
It was very nice of you to drive me from Starbucks to the library, too.

oOo the Bud horses!

I had a blast with you. :)

Province Lands Bike Trail

1/2 CCRT + NSP Loop

From Nickerson State Park to Wellfleet and back. Plus a loop inside the park and stops for the beach, lunch and ice cream! (Couldn't do exact route we followed around the pond, but the mileage is close enough! :-)

Feel free to add the pictures from your phone :-)

Ok here we go....

"Good morning, I don't want to get out of bed, so I'll take pictures of you instead!"

Yum yum, what a hearty breakfast! Bacon, eggs, and toast.

You prepare for the big ride. Action shot of teeth brushing!

"I'm going to squinch up my nose to make a focused face and show you where we are on the map, even though you clearly aren't paying attention because you keep taking pictures of me."

Dang, you look so cool when you get on that bike.

The beach! The calm before the hunger storm. 

Looking radical in my sunglasses with a very wide stance. 

What a wonderful ride! :-)
