Here’s what I think the truth is: We are all addicts of fossil fuels in a state of denial, about to face cold turkey. And like so many addicts about to face cold turkey, our leaders are now committing violent crimes to get what little is left of what we’re hooked on.

I took this photo during a beautiful hilly ride just south of Eugene, Oregon. It was one of the last beautiful weeks of summer. I couldn’t resist getting a photo with these cows. I did wonder though if these guys were staring at my LHT or if they were glaring at my Brooks! The phrase “contemplating the future†came to mind as I composed this.

HAHAHA. That’s hilarious but I imagine vegetarians and cows might not be as amused.
@ sami
Quite true. I sincerely apologize if my comments caused any unintended offense. FWIW I’m nearly vegetarian right now (I might eat meat a couple times a year) and I seem to be iterating towards becomming vegan. These are complex personal choices which evolve over time, and people make them for a variety of very different reasons. I took this photo framed this way because seeing the cows made me smile, but I appreciated the irony of the saddle. The title came to mind from the look the cow gave me. So I suppose my intention was not to be crude, but rather to remind myself of the origins of materials and how we are connected to them.
