2 posts in a day! If I don't keep going with this blogging business I might stop.

Kind of like when I began cycling. I would ride as fast as I could on unfamiliar roads and even into heavy traffic because that was the only way I could balance. I rarely used the bike's brakes. I used, what I call, external brakes. These were usually slow-moving adults, some on vehicles others jay-walking. It helped that I was 9 and always looked like I was about to burst into tears. The cows took it in their stride. A lot worse happens to them on the streets. A small girl sprawled face down at their hoofed feet was just a mild distraction.

I now know 'Full steam ahead' is not always the best way forward. But it's fun while it lasts...
