Today I was driving along the I-95 and saw a billboard advertising legal services for divorce *for men only*. Guess somebody's bitter.  :lol:

Popped down to the sea/breach this afternoon, seems most of England has decided to spend their Easter down on the coast.  :hmm:

So soon gave up and headed back into the countryside.

Lovely late afternoon to be out on the bike, ended up going further than I thought, off the map I had. 

Did a bit of exploring, ended up on the downs and had one of those nice moments when you round a corner and end up someone where you've been before, but now you know where that turning you pass goes.  :bowler:

Temperatures in the low 70s when I set off, 3 hours later still in the 60s when I got home. Still had plenty of light left, did about 33 miles, only took a litre of water with me, since I hardly broke a sweat, had much of it left.

Well that was a little terrifying. When I left work, police cars with flashing lights were blocking all of the side streets to 6th ave. A few seconds later a massive motorcade flew by. Who was it? Friggin' Obama. <_<

THANKS OBAMA

Wait this was actually his fault...

Really first day of the year when you can go out in t-shirt/jeans and just spend time outside of an afternoon, not having to be bothered about the temperature or when sunset is.  :bowler:

I had that same experience last time I was in Chicago.  Dude was up there for a fundraiser and traffic was a nightmare due to street closures. :mad:

Terrifying.  :mellow:

You might feel more comfortable when you see a bunch of cops in a small area, I don't.

We don't tend to have motorcades around here, nearest I've come was being forced into the side of the road by a motorcycle copper providing escort for presumably Maggie T.

Only motorcade I've seen was W's in Rome just after JP2 died. It was hilariously extended.

And they still didn't jack you up.  Next time wear your hoodie.

Hell, even state governors here sometimes have oversized motorcades zooming them around.

I did have my hoodie on recently at work - not sure if that was the same day though.

You guys need to get out into your local countryside more.  :)

Why, we'll just come across a motorcade on the side of the road, with Joe Biden pissing in the bushes.
