Two Old Goats

 Winky had a brain storm to go up a road we traveled many years ago on the ebikes.  This was one nasty road. Kadizzle had trepidations about the ability of the battery to carry his lump of lard up the mountain.  Up the mountain we went.  As we got higher Kadizzle realized what a terrible road it was.  It was steep covered with what are called baby heads.  Those are small round rocks about the size of a softball.  At a couple points it was so steep we had to get off and push the bikes.  The road was a giant loop.  It went up about fifteen hundred feet went around a strange game experiment fence and came back down.  On the way down the brakes on the bike got so hot you could not touch them.  Winky made the remark on the way down " We should have worn helmets".   Indeed if we had an ounce of sense we would have.  On one stop to let the brakes cool we both remembered we were in our 70s.  This trip was not something two old goats should be undertaking.  Finally we got back a little sore, and maybe a little smarter. 

Now, on a different subject.  Kadizzle ran across this amazing figure recently.  If the billionaires gave everyone in the United States three thousand dollars they would still have more money than they did before the virus problem.  If this is not a wake up about the state of the country nothing is.
