Watery Wednesday – Bike Ride

I get every other Friday off. Last Friday was the long awaited bike ride. School has started so we dropped SuperPizzaBoy off at school, had breakfast, and then took our bikes out to the Arkansas River.

We rode 15 miles. Our starting and ending point was the Bear Fountain.

Fifteen miles total. Afterwards we had refreshments at Freshberries..

I know it is out of focus, but it is good. I had yogurt with mango, kiwi, and raspberries.

Have you gone on a bike ride lately?

Used and abused picnick.com considerably.

Watery Wednesday – The Beach

Son, SuperPizzaBoy, in the Pacific Ocean surf at Carlsbad, California having the time of his life. The water was cold, clear, and invigorating.

I took the photograph with a four year old disposable camera way past due.

Watery Wednesday – Galveston Island 1978

This is from the archive. My niece Dana on Galveston Island in the late 1970’s. She, my Sister Ellen, and my Mother paid a visit to me in Houston for a few days.

Dana is one of my three cutest nieces and is all growns up and living in Australia. I can report that young Dana has gone from running from wavelets to jumping out of perfectly functioning airplanes. If we are lucky she might put a post up on her blog. Ellen lives in Colorado with with best BIL Irv. The other two cutest nieces live in Colorado also. Mom is gone but lives on in our hearts.

Watery Wednesday – A Sunday morning walk along the Arkansas River

Sunday morning walk on Arkansas River in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

South Side of the Jenks Pedestrian Bridge at dark thirty in the morning.

Started north. I’m a sucker for any kind of trail. This one is nice, asphalt and well lit, even at dark thirty.

Part of the woods between the trail and the river is eagle habitat. Stay out from November to the middle of March.

Went as far as the new Creek River Spirit Casino, open less than a month. Cost, reportedly about $195 million. 300,000 sqare feet of space. I’ve been watching them build this for a long time. Nope, I didn’t drop in a few quarters before I turned around.

It’s getting light, sun is coming up. Here is a picture of the eagle sanctuary. You can see the river through the trees.

I beg your indulgence here. My employer’s natural gas pipeline crossing the river. My crew at work buys a lot of the gas that goes through this thing from thousands of gas wells in western Oklahoma. This pipeline is ultimately connected to almost all the gas pipelines in the United States. If you live in North America and have a natural gas line to your your house, it is connected to this line.
