It appears to be made of plastic and is absolutely fantastic....

While out on a California adventure last week near Point Reyes National Seashore, my gentleman friend (we'll call him Gandalf for anonymity reasons) and I spotted this unusual bicyclist: 




We saw him throughout our day on the point and even our shuttle bus driver gave him a shout-out over his intercom as we rolled past proclaiming, "my goodness he's unusual!".  Unusual yes, but he brought a smile to us all.  We collectively determined that this type of contraption is used as a wind-breaking device.  Now if you are one of our wiser readers and know our explanation is hogwash then please expose us and tell us what this silicone-looking-spatula-without-a-handle thing really is!

Speaking of sharing, check out this breathtaking view from the edge of the point.  We arrived at this point after weaving through numerous dairy farms (26 to be exact, one for each letter of the alphabet).  Thousands of cows were grazing in extraordinarily green pastures that abruptly dissolved into sheer cliffs, which prompted an elderly bus passenger to ask, "do the cows ever fall off the cliff?".  Think about that....until next time!


p.s. I haven't forgotten about my ten new pieces challenge.  To put your inquiring minds at ease, you should know I only have three more to go!
