If I can find the photo on an old phone, I have Rudolph ..... the red nosed reindeer.
DEAD!!!
I have been accused many, MANY times of using Photoshop on the pic.
If I can find it, I will post and you can decide.

Trust me, I was on a long climb and had no plans of doing any part of it twice After talking to myself about what I had seen and feeling certain that I was delirious from the heat, I convinced ME to turn around for another look.
Sure enough,....and you have my word of honor.... Rudolph was dead on the side of the road in the middle of the Summer. Nose big and bright red.

Funny Bones. 😂
You had me laughing.

After searching files of pics., I found Rudolph.
This was the only picture I took.
It was in the Fall of 2009.

The red nose was wrinkled like a too ripe tomato.

I was riding a local trail and stopped to admire the scenery. Looked to my left and on the iron fence was a mountain bike frame locked to the fence with a u lock. Both wheels were missing and the weeds appeared to be a part of the bike! Ha no telling how long it's been there.

Was doing a bike event in San Francisco a few years back, and saw a bunch of fellas in the buff standing on a corner talking to some of SFPD's finest! Apparently in the City By the Bay this is ok as far as city codes go!

Well, if you are going to do it in a car, hire a driver, and yes, pack out the trash. hahahahha. It's so nasty when people throw their condoms and stuff on the ground. It is an insult to the country.

I don't understand why people toss these on the ground as often as they do. Is it really too much to ask of someone to put it back in the wrapper when they're done and toss it in the TRASH and not out your car window? Speaking of that... I thought cars were for driving and beds were for... uh... sleeping?!

I think the oddest thing I've found in the road was a 10 year old boy, lying asleep next to a skateboard, in the corner of the curb and a residential street. I thought he was knocked out, so I woke him up with a shout. He said he was taking a nap. What the heck was he thinking? At least he moved to the yard.

This summer I found a girl sleeping along the trail on the Erie Canal. She had her bike beside her and was in a sleeping bag so I don't think she crashed and was knocked out. There were 500 of us on the ride so I didn't stop to see if she was ok. I thought it odd that she was right on the edge of the trail, within inches of people riding by.
I also saw a snake stretched the whole way across the road. It had just eaten something quite large (groundhog, dog, chicken?) and had a large bulge about a foot back from it's head. It wasn't moving so I rode off the left shoulder of the road to get around it and it struck at me, I guess it was still hungry.
