Later on I was still feeling kind of antsy so I took the Roughhouse out for an around-town ride came across 4 deer right near where I live. I got within about 30 feet of them. . .almost at a stand-still. . . before 3 of them bolted and the 4th one just stood his ground looking at me like he knew who I was.
So I'm taking that as a hint to be watchful and on the ready to avoid contact with deer close to home now. It seems they are migrating more and more now out of the forested areas and into suburbia.
I think the new Hi-Viz vest came in handy more than once today with people making complete stops at intersections rather than just rolling through. Still concerned about those travelers who just seem to cross over the yellow line or hug the shoulder in ever increasing numbers now. . .most of which appear to be looking down. . .using devices I imagine.
Riding every day keeps you focused on the "Now" and lets you forget your worries. So eat the whole bag of potato chips and enjoy life for a change.
