Rough days - out there in all weathers, snow too, delivering the papers. It was tricky balancing the bike with the heavy papers slung to one side of me. Saturday was the worst - all those supplements. And the house with the vicious Collie. The farm with the wall-eyed Collie - would creep up behind you. Harmless but scary. Once came off the bike in bad rain - skidded on my side for a good few yards. Battered my hip and burnt holes in my coat - still had to carry on. Kids these days - dad just gets out the credit card. We have one at work - overly-nurtured kid with no concept of reality.
