Tuesday it was a Bee. Today a Yellow Jacket. Sunday? I'm watching out for Rattlesnakes!![]() I kept pace, mostly, the rest of the way up the hill. At least until I hear Kevin, who's a bit behind me at this point, yelling that JeffZ is behind us and closing fast. Kevin kicks his e-bike into a higher gear (probably went from Tour to Sport mode) and jumps on JeffZ's wheel... until JeffZ drops him. Seriously. Kevin can't keep up with JeffZ, when Kevin's on an e-bike? Yeah, well, JeffZ is that fast and Kevin's knee must be that bad. It was a beautiful day up on Skyline, just under 60 degrees, no smoke, just a tough of fog creating rays through the trees in a place or two. West Old LaHonda was clear & dry and apparently also a haven for yellow jackets. Got stung or bit, not sure which, stopped to make sure it wasn't a bee (no stinger) and basically just got mad. I mean, seriously? Thankfully it apparently didn't get much venom into me because there was never much swelling, just a bit of pain and a tingling that went away after an hour or two. Like the title says, I'm expecting rattlesnakes Sunday! |
