Yet Another Ford

It's late Sunday afternoon, which is not our normal time for a bike ride. But we had just said goodbye to a visitor who had a heavy heart. After hearing his woes we decided we needed a diversion. So onto the bikes we went.

The weather is so clear and beautiful we didn't even have to stop at the weather mirror to check things out. We just rode off at random.

After a few moments we came around a corner and down a short alley to a grand stand of "Pride of Madeira" and a great view of the ocean. We had a nice moment in the sunshine peeking through the flowers, then got back on our bikes and hit the highway.

A good mile run gave us a chance to get used to high speed and got our hearts racing, then we swerved off to the right and down another mile-long straight.

Eventually we came to the turning point. After some contemplation, I decided on the direct route home. Up a steep hill, but short. On the way we saw this old 1959 Ford Pickup.

Honestly, there are so many Fords in our neighborhood!! If you are like me and can't tell one year from another, here's a page with Fords illustrated by model and year. With resources like this, at least I can get pretty close.

We made it home in one piece, put away the bikes and got a drink. As I took off my multi-colored shirt and matching multi-colored watch, I realized that it was time for a long hot shower.

So goodbye for now!
