The Night Visitor

May 27, 2014 by Scooter in the Sticks 16 Comments

Memorial Day is drawing to a close and I have no riding or Vespa pictures worth sharing.  Aside from my own creative failure I point to a lack of sleep due to a night visitor who kept Kim and I up far longer than anticipated.  After watching a movie until almost 3am we were later awaken by a clatter in the front of the house.  As I threw up the sash instead of finding jolly old Saint Nick I was face to face with a black bear dining on one of our bird feeders.  By the time the local constabulary pushed him down the hill towards the woods I could see the faint glow of dawn.  A few more hours sleep and Junior wanted his turn.

So I’m tired and not particularly thrilled at the prospect of returning to work tomorrow.  Holidays make me think about retirement.

If you do need some riding fix, check out Poppawheelie’s ride up the Grossglockner Pass road.
