rednecks and las paletas

So the ride home's contemplation of Buddhist philosophies was blissfully interrupted when cutting across Belmont's campus I found this sweet special interest/swing voters bumper sticker apparently left behind after the festivities of this past Tuesday night's so-called "Town Hall Debate." I love myself some clever political bumper sticker, and I couldn't resist immediately peeling off the adhesive and applying it to the bumper of the bike trailer. What a find. One of the top 10 all-time road finds on the daily ride.


And still riding high off the euphoria of the bumper sticker find, we stopped-off at Las Paletas - the gourmet Mexican-style yummiest-popsicles-ever-place that serves up frozen sticks of heaven in flavors like chocolate wasabi, hibiscus, espresso, rice, avocado, and cantaloupe - for a celebratory afternoon snack. According to Ivy, it was lip-smacking good. As for Eden, he was simply mesmerized by something flying across the sky, as usual.
