Hey- I eat some of those organisms. Always a good idea to avoid anthropomorphizing your food! It's like naming meat animals on a farm... most people avoid doing that. <g>

This leaves me with an awful temptation to name a burger "Art."

Is Art even his real name?

Is he wearing bicycle safety glasses to maintain his secret identity?

Beyond and Star*Hopper, thanks for prodding me; the Bomber safety glasses worked really well. Went riding tonight; got back to my car at 10 PM (which is late for me; I don't know how that happened) -- no bugs in my eyes, woo-hoo!!!

But wow, I was getting hit everywhere else with really BIG bugs.

And I had bats buzzing me along part of the trail, including two who flew along with me for a ways (in two different places). I don't know why they do that, and I wish they'd cut it out!

The bats are just trying to figure out why(and how)a Great Horned Owl is peddling a mechanical contraption. Perhaps if you put your arms out and flap a little, they will leave you alone

Oh, beyond, maybe that's it!! I'll try flapping, see what happens.

Owling's a hoot, and planking's so June, hmm?

What report are you waiting for, Beyond? I used the clear specs for biking last night for the first time; they worked really well. One little bug did find its way around the specs, but I just lifted them and the wind carried him away. No need to stop to dump water into my eyes, no picking bugs out of my eyes for the next 12-24 hours. Woo-hoo!

And I really need to change the batteries in the headlight that's on my helmet; last night's ride made that very clear!

I had decided that I wanted a dinner salad from a place that is at the end of one set of trails; usually takes me about 28 minutes to bike that distance. I started out really late, though, and had to push it to reach the place before it closed at 9 PM. Took me 21 minutes last night, and I got there with time to spare. (I got the salad to go. Unfortunately, I had not secured my bungee net when I put the bike on the car rack, so lost that on the drive to the trailhead. I had to make due with regular bungees, and now I have to go buy a new bungee net.

)

That's why I'm a little confused about how late it was when I got back to the car; I left the place at 9 PM, and sure, bungeeing the salad to the rack took a few minutes, but ... 10:00 PM? A whole hour? I did take a longer way back; just don't understand how it could have possibly taken an hour.

If you can't swivel your head 180° then you're not really owling.

Maybe they were riding your wake (like dolphins and ships)

, or just eating the bugs your light attracted

Hey,owlice. I'm waiting wonderingly for your report on how the flapping of your arms works when peddling through bat territory.
Perhaps you will do an "ET" and drive dem bats batty.
