3/11/24 pesky
Especially this time of year, Canada geese enjoy congregating on the trail- they don’t like it when I ride through them- they also leave their giant piles of droppings on the trail, which must be dodged at all costs. They are definitely pesky (even if the chicks are cute)
#scavhunt – 3/11/2024 – Winter 2024 is being PESKY dumping some snow on the GAP and the Ohiopyle High Bridge. Those are my out and back tire trails

The middle one refused to turn around for the picture. As Elmer Fudd would say, “PESKY wabbit”!3/11/24 – Pesky – The WIND has been sooo pesky today, knocking over dumpsters, and providing a squirrel with a people-food snack. Pesky wind!

Arlington is getting fed up with these PESKY deer and is making plans to cull the herd.
The overpopulation problem is destroying Arlington’s forested land (and many residents’ landscaping!)

cycler’s side note: it’s hard to find deer when you are looking for them! I cycled all over north Arlington where I’d seen them many times before. I came across this family (five total) just after giving up and heading back to city center. This is in the shadow of I66, at Spout Run.
Also, wildlife photography with a cell phone isn’t easy, either 😉

There are some pesky hazards on the bike-ways of Palm Springs. But when the alternative is to use one of the narrow bike lanes on the adjacent four lane highway while riding a beach cruiser, I don’t mind.

On this day before John B’s 80th birthday ride, my pesky chain sounded kinda stretched out, so I went to Bikenetic, but of course I’d forgotten that it’s pesky Monday, and they changed their PESKY schedule to be closed on Sundays & Mondays (1 of those days was cuz Pete was hit by a pesky tree branch & killed a coupla yrs ago.
Even my pesky picture of their PESKY SCHEDULE came out blurry. It was a live photo! Every single copy is like this! How does that happen?
Maybe the lens was coated with a film of sweat from my back….. I usually check but maybe I forgot cuz I was rushing. 🤔🤷🏻3/11/2024 – pesky
Gum balls scattered all over the trail are pesky for all trail users, unless of course one can just jump over them!
3/11/24 – PESKY
The gusty wind today proved pesky, making it hard to ride, or even stay on your bike! 😉

This sculpture is called “(Here I Stand) In The Spirit of Paul Roberson.” The House Un-American Affairs Committee considered Paul Roberson’s espousal of the equality of the races so pesky that they blacklisted him.
Paul Leroy Robeson (April 9, 1898 – January 23, 1976) was an American bass-baritone concert artist, stage and film actor, professional football player, and activist who became famous both for his cultural accomplishments and for his political stances.
On June 20, 1949, Robeson spoke at the Paris Peace Congress saying that “We in America do not forget that it was on the backs of the white workers from Europe and on the backs of millions of Blacks that the wealth of America was built. And we are resolved to share it equally.”
The House Un-American Affairs Committee found these statements so pesky that it blacklisted him. A book reviewed in early 1950 as “the most complete record on college football” failed to list Robeson as ever having played on the Rutgers team and as ever having been an All-American. Months later, NBC canceled Robeson’s appearance on Eleanor Roosevelt’s television program. Subsequently, the State Department denied Robeson a passport and issued a “stop notice” at all ports. An isolated existence inside United States borders afforded him less freedom to express what some saw as his “extreme advocacy on behalf of the independence of the colonial peoples of Africa.” When Robeson met with State Department officials and asked why he was denied a passport, he was told that “his frequent criticism of the treatment of blacks in the United States should not be aired in foreign countries.”
