Non-goathead hazard

Carl, seriously, move to florida before the snakes and wild pigs get
you.
here you can cycle into:
groups! of 16' long alligators sunning on the road or in transit
wild pigs human and regular
gangsters
senile drunks bent on recapturing youth
pathological criminals
murderous escapees from north and south Carolina
old people no longer able to see driving 400hp cars
atlantic salt marsh rattle snakes - good for noooo trespass signs
http://pick4.pick.uga.edu/mp/20q?guide=Snakes
8' long diamond backs
Golden orb spiders
Black widow spiders
B52's
Various 3lb flying beetles flying Mach 2
broken glass broken glass broken glass thrown beer bottles at 3AM
and these hazards are imminent, tomorrow !
incoming prostitutes, all GP+ IQ-, all lent new cars in loo of pay!
the lowest IQ and the highest incidence of vilence in the lower 48
goatheads?

The trick is getting the photo. A lot of descriptions just doesn't
cut it. I wish I could wield the camera as fast as the black bears,
moose, and foxes flee, and I'm just too much in jaw-dropping awe when
the sheep crowd the road and then walk over to check me out, or the
elk linger, and then quickly depart. I'm more concerned about shooing
them from the road, lest the next car does them in. The goats are
only tiny specs way way up there, just hanging on where the grades
approach 90 degrees. The mountain lions are rare and the fastest of
all, and when you see the griz you just slink away as fast as
possible, avoiding eye contact. I'd carry the camera, but the good
wildlife shot is pretty rare, so you end up shooting panaramas. Maybe
this summer on the MTB, since I'm starting to feel crowded off the
roads. Even the gravel ones.

try a small displacement quiet motorcycle: turn the motor off and
glide right into the herd.
one deer turns to the leader and asks: is that a '01 or and '03?
and watch out for the ants when you put your foot down on the berm!

Yesterday's ride, on the path, RIGHT after about two dozen cyclists in
Clyclo-Vets jerseys came down the path the other way, I NEARLY rolled
over a, ok, it was only about two feet long, garter snake slithering
as fast as it could across the bike path. Poor sucker probably thought
it was safe after the peleton came down the hill, only to hear my
vibrations going up the hill.

Fortunately I braked in time. That was one scared looking snake, I
tell you. If I'd hit it -- do they even make wheelchairs for snakes?
As one of my ride companions mentioned, would it have constant trouble
with colic every time the digesting mouse hit the kink in it's back?

Sorry -- I'm still stuck on the image of a snake in an electric
wheelchair, steering it with it's tongue....

Wasps, you left out wasps. I was getting stung so bad the summer before last
that when I got hit in the ankle by the Eastern Diamondback that I ran over my
first thought was "I wonder how bad this is going to hurt compared to a wasp."

Piles of debris in intersections that look like Sanfords truck barfed up the
tetanus salad it had for lunch.

Sadly, you don't need to move to FL to find that behavior...

Everyone confesses that exertion which brings out all the powers of body
and mind is the best thing for us; but most people do all they can to
get rid of it, and as a general rule nobody does much more than
circumstances drive them to do. -Harriet Beecher Stowe, abolitionist and
novelist (1811-1896)

Carl Fogel and I live in "wilder" areas with a significant animal
population. The humorous, if survived, comparison is from the human
population. When the stats tell you the state has the LOWEST
intelligence level and the HIGHEST violence rates then you consider
that the state is basically a different place than the other lower 47:
and it is just that. For example, the librarian, cop, bus driver in
FLA is not the same as that person in Ohio. They look alike but they
are not.
Retirees moving here often get fed up with the ongoing BS and move to
Fogelsville, as I'm doing.
But the getting hit problem is the same. Or it seems the same. I'd
like to know the stats breakdowns. It always seems like the cyclist is
getting the shaft. Off course "he'll have to live with it." BS BS BS!!
Penn's roads are too narrow. Le Mans is in France. Here in FLA, seems
like its up to the cyclist or antecedents to sue in civil court, the
state will not find the motorist culpable for you.

Fogelsville, PA? (which is about 5 miles north of the Trexlertown
Velodrome).

Dear Dave,

Today, Pennsylvania--tomorrow, the world!

Cheers,
