IRRESPONSIBLE FATHER..........

.......With school starting on 20th, I am trying to get in some rides before the crack-down. Over sleeping is a problem when you have no job or responsibilities. I did see my kids off this morning & layed back down to listen to Scott Cox on the radio talking about what he and other callers learned to drive in....
I guess it was boring enough and I fell back asleep.
Oh well, late start.
I told Monica I was going to go up the canyon and ride Cow Flat road, since the Forestry gates are closed and no motor traffic would be up there.
Leaving at 10:00 from home, I figured I would have enough time to make it to Breckenridge Road from the Kern Canyon with plenty of time to pick up Ezra @ 2:05-Didn't happen-I was taking more pictures than normal-making my ride time longer.
Do you remember Presidental candidate Hillary Clinton? Well, in her travel across the country, she commented more than once that, "I't take a village to raise a child...", Well today was my turn to have my village (next door neighbor) pick up my children from school. The only problem was that there was no cell phone reception @ my turn around point-Breckenridge Road @ 1:00-Ezra gets out of school @ 2:05....
Well lets see how far I need to go to get reception-
Posted below are pictures of why I don't mind letting my village raise my kids if I may be late.
Enjoy!
