Are you feeling a little unbalanced, California?

One of the most common pieces of debris in the bike/debris lane is this little fella (a wheel balancing weight).

Besides, of course, beer bottles, drink cans/bottles, coffee cups, cigarette butts, broken pieces of landscaping equipment, bolts/nails/nuts, banana peels, and roadkill.
The roadkill has definitely changed recently (for us, in our travels), from songbirds and raccoons/skunks/possums to lizards (and snakes? Not sure. One of the kinds of lizards looks so much like a snake that it can be hard to tell [after they are flattened by passing motor vehicle tires])

One of the bad jokes I have been telling Heidi, far too often?
OK.
It's a sprinter joke.
And you have to say it with a bad imitation Southern accent...
"You sain that Bolt back there?"
(As we pass the 10,000th bolt of the day. Man, there must be a LOT of stuff fallin' apart out there, on CA's highways and byways)
