Austin's Pity Limits

Poor Lance. Heavy on the poor! Losing it all is just the next step in the process of coming clean about it all. I still have no respect for him, but at least he is having to "pay" for it all. Too bad Oprah didn't really grill him on some points, but that's the reason he wanted to talk to her instead of someone who would hold his feet to the fire a little longer. A classic punk ass move if ever there was one.The following cartoons are a few that I have drawn up over the last year and published in "Toons weekly cartoon tabloid. Just for laughs. Pity the fool!

Lately

So winter is here, and as per the norm in Iowa, we have had frigid cold, and unusual warmth. Sometimes back to back days of each! Well, the cold produces ice, and the warmth produces the urge to ride, so I have been riding frozen rivers. A few weeks ago I rode from Ledges State Park down to the High Trestle Trail, Hiway 17 at Saylorville Lake upstream to near Madrid, and last week I rode from US 30 to about a mile past I-35 on the South Skunk River. If you ever think that there is no wilderness in Iowa, or wherever you live, go out and ride a frozen river. It was so strange to be out on a 3 hour ride on top of a river, that I spent most of the time laughing out loud! Even crashing and laughing about it. So anyway, here are some crappy cell phone pictures from the trips. And might I say, these trips were on a bike with decidedly not fat tires, at a skimpy 2.3 niner size.  Maybe a real fat bike next year? Later!
