Things I Saw Today

A motorcycle isn't really mine until it makes a Hajj to The Big Duck. We did that today in ridiculously-comfortable weather; it was 60 degrees here in New York despite being the nadir of Winter. The Big Duck is the Ka'aba of my two-wheeled faith.




While out riding, I saw a decaying but beautiful painting on the side of a building in a neglected alley. Isn't it nice?

    It was warm here as well today, but really windy.

    Fun you took the bike out to enjoy it.

    The big duck is hilarious.

    I can't even with that duck...how insanely cool is that! You are hardcore my friend. I do not want to be on our bike until it's 70 degrees. I know, disappointing considering my hardcore biker bloodline...lol!

    I still have the post card you sent me of the big duck on my fridge. I had such a hard time trying to explain to my nephew why someone would build a giant duck building. "Just because" was not a good enough reason for him.

    I showed this duck to Bryan over the weekend after you mentioned it--so cool! Glad you were able to take the bike out and enjoy some beautiful riding weather. Back to freezing rain here, whomp! That is a beautiful painting you stumbled upon :)
