Out Of The House But Not Going Far

I've been wanting to ride in Herbert Kale Area for a couple of years, but deterred by high water and mud on the usual and customary path in. This year it's not so bogged up, and I did a quick ride directly to the pond observation tower. Then cut through the "no" and "only" area and came out behind one of the several developments that abut the impoundment area.

 

A Short Ride South

And a foggy morning loop around the Wilcox area on Old Dixie at Indrio Road.  Closer to home a tree uprooted and then uprighted following our near miss storm late last fall.

A Resumption Of My Fulmination

The crime wave ended here. Three young women from the Palm Beach area did a smash and grab that set off an alarm. A nearby VB cop responded, and that, after a brief chase, was that. Stolen car, too. 

Pizza is good. Guy makes his own stuff. You can see him tossing the pizza in back. And his oven is hot enough.

Streaming Music from Munich

As Christmas music becomes unavoidable, I think about a few favorites that I'll play from my collection. And I listen for little bits and snippets of good from the mess that is coming across from many of the usual sources. This morning some antiphonal music performed, recorded, and streamed from Germany. Bayern Klassik the wire to the internet world web thing.

An added bonus to listening to this stream is that it's German language, so I can't understand a word of the news broadcasts. There is some part of me, though, that wants to believe that the news is not so piled with garbage laden tales of the insignificant and breathless stories of scientific breakthrough, later turning out to be untrue, reported by journalists who are clueless.

Thursday the 12th turning out to be a morning of low clouds and the possibility of rain. I'm sort of in the mood to mountain-bike explore. And sort of not. The wind direction is wrong for airplane watching. Which would otherwise be good because VRB is probably IFR. I enjoy seeing airplanes emerge from overcast lined up with the runway; that's some technology you got there in that airplane. You betcha.

A sunnier day in southwest Vero, an area that often turns up in police and sheriff reports.

Dirt Road Backroad And Other Adventures

Man. Has it been that long. I guess time to put up some panorama views. Taking the mountain bike out to places where a turn here and a turn there gets almost away from the sound of motor vehicles.
