Last night was another ear-splitter as Bike Week hits the half-way point (note red "seat cover" in far middle of first photo). It was also Ash Wednesday and a nearby church had been promoting the "Blessing of the Bikes". In my mind I pictured a drive-by conga-line where the bikers would get the benediction and maybe a dab of ashes on the headlight. Great photo op. But no bikes appeared and the priest stayed inside with the faithful --- maybe he uttered a few words in the service?? Disappointed, but I'm not gonna argue with the Big Biker in the Sky.
This morning brought a real blessing with much-needed rain to douse area grassfires, and to douse the nonstop street roar. Blessed morning sleep and we can actually hear each other across the room. The spring breakers may not feel so blessed --- yesterday was kite-up, this morning is bundle-up. The forecast is for clearing this afternoon, so what can we use as earplugs?
