Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign

Sign
“Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?”
~Five Man Electric Band~

This week the PCRs decided (okay, Big Man did) it was time for a flat ride, for which Prez. was grateful.  So they followed Big Man and witnessed many signs along the way.

Sign that the PCR member’s collective IQ is below average:  They follow Big Man.  For example, when they followed him this week to travel along the Legacy Trail, they encountered an eight foot high fence, one that Trump would endorse, blocking the trail with a big sign informing them the trail was closed.  Duh, as if the eight foot fortress was not a compelling enough sign that they were not going to be riding on the trail. However, they were riding with Big Man, so even a 40 foot fence might not be tall enough.

Sign that PCR’s have early onset dementia (okay in Bruner’s case it is not early onset):  Week after week they keep following the Big Man even though he takes them places they never planned. They get home two hours later than they told their better halves because they have to make stops for him to take pictures of everything and to talk with everyone.

Sign that Mr. MBA is all talk and no action:  Mr. MBA was a no-show today and notwithstanding the fact that Big Man rearranged the trip to southern Utah next week so Mr. MBA could attend, he backed out.  Well you know what they say about teachers:  those who can do; those who can’t…. 

Sign that Bruner does not have many lives left:  Bruner got into a duel with a curb this morning, and let’s just say that the only thing standing within a block radius of the incident was the curb.

Sign that SLC has grown up:  The new George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Theater, which the PCRs visited on their way home.  They are sure that none of its broad-minded, all-inclusive, hoity-toity patrons will mind the stench left behind when PCR members sat with their sweat drench biking regalia on the new plush velvet seats.  Nice job former Mayor Becker.  You are a visionary.

Sign that Big Man never grew up:  Evidence that Big Man never matured emotionally beyond the 9th grade was demonstrated by the manner in which he ran around the Eccles Theater in his tights amongst refined patrons taking video recordings of the performances.

Sign that the Bicycling Season is ending:  PCR members donned so much cold weather gear for this morning’s ride that they appeared as ticks about to pop.  Also, they saw fields dotted with orange pumpkins signaling Halloween is around the corner and it is getting too cold to ride outside.

Sign you are living in the past: Bruner sporting his LOTOJA tag on his bike two months after the race was over.

Sign that it is not all about the Bike:  It took them four hours for a ride that should have taken three. They had to stop and take pictures of cows, visit Starbucks to swill hot chocolate, visit the grand opening of the Eccles Theater, and listen to Big Man’s endless chatter with whomever would listen to him or would at least feign listening.

It was a beautiful autumn day.
