The sky is red and blue behind the old Smith house on Olive Avenue.
By John Murphy
Dog walking interrupted my bicycling for a while, but Saturday I got back on track with a trek from Highland to Redlands.
My breathing was a little heavier than usual as I have not put in many miles on the bike lately. But I was moving more rapidly than many on Olive Avenue who were leisurely walking their dogs, some of them dressed in sweaters I’m sure they detest.
I stopped at the Olive Avenue Market because I needed a break and craved something sweet. An employee was out front, allowing people in a few at a time. There was another lady lurking about dressed in a fluorescent green grinch costume. I’m not sure why.
Once inside I opted for a huge chocolate chunk cookie. It was the best cookie I’ve had in recent memory, with entire chunks of chocolate and walnuts embedded. I consumed it all and then it was time to start riding again. No rest for the weary.
