As you ride along the road on a bicycle you have a chance to see things that you might miss in a car. For instance, road kill, live wild life, interesting signs etc. We generally keep a running tab of such things. Yesterdays road kill: one seagull on the Great Highway. Today's list: one rabbit, one rat and two snails. Actually one of the snails qualifies as live wild life as well. It was alive until Rudy thought it was trying to pass him on a particularly steep climb, so he ran over it.

Live wild life today also included: 4 ground squirrels, lizard, a really feral looking cat, a running across the road, from one strawberry field to another, one live bunny, birds of many types and a dogs of all types and sizes.

Like all lists, some things are hard to fit into a particular class. A beautiful black deer for instance, painted on a big yellow sign.
