Oh Boy, a Trip to Wally World

Today's Thrilling Routing

Jacque got a call from the pharmacy today - and that sassy gal decided to ride her
Catrike Pocket across town to pick it up.  She had the gall to ask me if I wanted to come along, and for some reason I said "Sure."
So out came the trikes and we went.  Again, Jacque had both doggies on board her ride, since I had volunteered to babysit them while she went inside the store.
For some odd reason the weather has been warm and sunny and WONDERFUL these last several days, including this one.  Not hot enough to be over-heated, and there was a breeze to help out.
About a week ago I called the Fire Department and got permission to burn our brush pile on the edge of our yard, a gigantic pile of limbs and brush and leaves from the "trimming" of 36" diameter limbs overhanging and endangering our house.
Liberally pouring gasoline on the pile to get it going good, I lit the mess and jumped back.... to watch the gasoline burn out quickly with literally no effect on the junk it was poured upon.  It was literally waterlogged from weeks of intermittent and occasionally heavy rain, and despite a couple more efforts to ignite it, nothing worked.
Now that we've had almost a week of NO rain and sunshine, I need to try again.  I imagine the Fire Dept. guys were laughing down their sleeves when I called earlier.  Certainly they realized there was little danger of fire spreading anywhere.
Back to today's ride.  No time for playing with matches.
Jacque led the way and even found a previously unknown linkage between streets.

On the way home, we passed a friendly fellow sitting in the shade of his open garage.  He called out to us:  "I'm gonna call the Police on you guys for SPEEDING!"  Good Stuff.
