Default Dream Come True

When I was a little kid (like 6 or 7) I occasionally had dreams that I could fly. These were kind of weird dreams because I didn't fly like Superman. I flew close to the ground, my legs hung down beneath me, and although it was fast compared to walking it wasn't like I was going the speed of light.

This morning I took the windshield off my RKC and, because the A/C is out at my office, put on shorts and a t-shirt and rode to work. I hadn't thought about that old dream for I don't know how many years, but as the wind blew in my face and all around my body, I felt like a little kid flying through town and over the hills.

I love this bike!

Hopefully you had some flip flops on your feet so as to provide the necessary protection to your soles. Sometimes a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do! Shorts, t-shirt, flip flops whatever......

I did find that I was extra careful. I didn't want to wake up smeared across the highway hearing the paramedics say, "The idiot wasn't even wearing jeans, much less proper footwear!"

I know it was unwise, but like you say . . .
