So I rode today, short ride, but it was a ride. Third time I have been on the bike, since the big fall/accident of last August. I think I am getting my cycling legs back and its not bothering my shoulder or neck.
A slow return to the pedal.

Today, Bradly and I got out and rode nine miles around the City. He called up and we got out and about early this morning. This is taken with a GoPro Silver Edition. Pretty good lil camera when you think that its not much bigger than a old matchbox.
I realized this morning that I had missed getting out on the bike are pedaling. Ever since my bike accident I have shied away from pedaling. I think I have mended enough to give it a try again.
Other than that, life is ok here on the banks of the Red River in central Louisiana.

Tis the Season...!!
Well, this morning, at the crack of dawn, the sun rose on the Red River, here in Alexandria.
Off in the distance, you could hear muffled sounds of boom, pop, boom boom, pop pop pop. Muffled!!!!
Well, as I was sitting on the porch, enjoying the breath of a semi tepid breeze, I realized that it was opening day of Dove Season. The muffled boom boom, pop pop, was shotguns going on. Alexandria is surrounded by fields of milo, sorghum, soybeans, and cotton. The first three are the primary food for doves.
So, Tis the Season.... Hunting Season.... has come to Alexandria and the Red River Valley once again.... That time honored way of life, father/son rising early, oiling up the guns, in the truck, and off to sit in a milo field, to wing shoot, that lil grey bird.
That lil grey bird knows that there is no guns in my backyard, just bird feed from the local hardware store. I guess that is why I had about a dozen there this morning. They were the smart ones, their counterparts, will be dove breast on an open fire grill at lunch time here shortly.
Its all about that old tradition of male bonding, pickup trucks, fine over and unders, and shooting on the wing... here in Central Louisiana..
Well... not all of Central La.... here on the red bricks of Alexandria, its about morning coffee and peacefulness..
