Here's a word of warning for riders in the prime foliage areas. The leaves are now on the ground, and once they're wet, they're a mighty formidable adversary on the pavement. You can slide four wheels out with zero effort, so use caution on those two wheelers. |

A fine reminder, thanks.
Even one well placed wet leaf under your boot can cause you to loose your footing when stopped also. |

I laid my 1st one down when I was @ 14-15 on pine straw running way too fast for the curve not to mention the straw, woke up next to a big tree and the scoot was on her back with front tire pushed back against the motor still running. Man that was a long walk home! Head bleeding and hurting then had to face the folks.  |

It is the duty of nations, as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions, in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the LORD.
