Political gridlock has been a way of life in Washington for some time. We have come to expect total inaction, and our elected legislators certainly don't disappoint. Even the the self imposed sword of Damocles can't move the super committee's collective, do nothing asses off the seat of political stagnation. So how am I going to support the protesters on Wall Street?
Occupy the Bike!
What better way to show my solidarity with the occupy movement from little old Chestertown! I thought about camping out in the town square with a sign that says "Occupy Chestertown" or maybe "Rage against The Man". But then I remembered that I work for "The Man". So maybe that's not the best idea considering I have a mortgage, bills and lots of bike gear on my wish list.
But heading out for a good head clearing ride certainly made me feel better physically and emotionally.
Biking down a country road in the late day light and gazing across the farm fields helps me keep my perspective.
With twilight closing in, it's time to pump hard towards home.
After all, I have to catch a bus for Washington, DC in the morning.

"A Congress of Baboons" doesn't inspire me to look for a bright future! Love your picture of the farm complex--reminded me of the Kirk Road farm.
