20130423 Promised Land of Clovers

Good morning! Today is Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013, and today's adventure is an exciting combination of "Visual Discovery Part 4," The Promised Land of Four Leaf Clovers, flying effortlessly over my handlebars, and the two part addendum on the consequences of the landing. I'll begin by taking you East on Galbraith Road, past the construction, and directly to the clover patch of promise. Passing under I-75, across the Mill Creek bridge, and past the Animal Vet center as well as a Car rental center. There's also this pleasant eatery called JDM's that serves good sandwiches, fried chicken, and complimentary WiFi! Then before you know it, Galbraith brings us to the Westbound onramp to the Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway. It's a pleasant patch of green, directly across the street from the Tire Discounters that have always done good business for us. So what that makes a tiny liittle patch such a good place for finding four leaf clovers? Three things I might chalk it up to is a good amount of morning sun, a backward wind that travels from East to west, and a number of street lamps that act like "grow lamps." It's no mystery that these patched grow like families, so if you find a four leaf in one place, keep looking! You are likely to find more of them! In today's discovery, I found a half dozen four leaf clovers... and a six leaf clover! Almost all of them directly under a street light. So, with victory in hand, I travel one block farther to the Shell station, where I refresh myself with an unsweetened iced tea. So, rewarded and refreshed, I return home on Galbraith Road West, into the construction where things turn horribly awry. Now for the adendum in two parts. Part One: Four leaf clovers aren't lucky. You can get good forutne out of them by sharing them with friends and family, because if you've got friends and family to share them with, then good fortune passes both ways. But, they are not lucky, because you can actually still lose a battle to road rash, on the ride home, from having collected a half dozen four leaf clovers. Part Two: is that I've broken my camera mount, I've busted up parts of my bike. There are a lot of things I'm not going to be able to do in he immediae future, until those things get repaired. So, until then, this is Joel 'TwistyNye,' wishing you "Happy Trails." See you next week.
