Ever yell engine noises over the wind on your bicycle? Me too.

I'm shameless at promoting stuff that I write, I get it, but this is fun... it's all about being a kid again.

Here's a snippet:

...I would yell to anyone in earshot that we were off to the park, then run out the door before being told to make my bed. Our favorite parks were oddly all at the bottoms of hills, and we'd race down red-faced, legs pumping and out of breath. The wind would blow back our hair and we'd catch bugs in our grins. Sometimes in our throats. Freedom. We would scream motor noises and think ourselves to be the very champions of speed....

Careful Tret - your humanity is showing! :D

And YES I have... even recently. ;)

The real question is, do you catch yourself doing it on your CB???? When you get the note just right!!!! it makes your eyeballs jiggle!

Sure is quiet. Oh well. I liked it anyhow.

I think I've yelled plenty on the cb. Not always motor noises. But, sometimes...
