First off, I don’t have a clue as to how the picture I took of that helmet came to look like the image in the header of this blog. I was lying in my hospital bed at the rehab facility balancing the thing in my lap. In the raw pic, you can see my Black Watch tartan pajamas and thin wool socks. But crop it just right [because you had to in order for it to fit into the blog template’s header] and it takes on a whole new level of uh, menace. I guess. I took the dang photo with my cell phone for what it’s worth. Now do you understand why I have a Random Observations category?

Did that gravel road have spikes in it or something?
