Went for a bike ride with MR.  It was over an hour, but we only managed to get in 16.68 miles.  We tried riding into the wind on our way out so it would be an easier ride back, but we failed miserably and had a really bad headwind the whole ride home which slowed us down considerably.  It was just great to be out on a cool, sunny morning enjoying the day with my first-mate.

We saw 2 opossum- one was sun bathing in the road, and the other was doing yoga in the road.  Saw 5 snakes.  2 were dead little snakes, 2 were dead bigger snakes, and one was a big green snake that I rode over with my bike and it was alive and slithered off into the grass.  I really thought it was just a long green piece of grass or palm frond or something that was not a snake.  Guess I got one for the Gipper today.

Here's a pix of snake #1:

YIKES! Snakes and Opossums oh my! :)

Glad you got a nice ride in.
