They sure know how to spend a winter afternoon

Today I saw this group of people coming down the block, I thought it was a parade or protest, but it ended up being a large group of rollerbladers coming down the block in a long line -- about 20 or more.

Everyone on the sidewalks stopped and watched the bladers with smiles on their faces. It was such a cool thing to see.

One jerk pulled his car up close and yelled out the window, "Do you know what you all look like?"

I am sure they knew what they looked like -- the envy of the block, people having a great time on a cold winter afternoon, doing what everyone who was watching wishes they were doing -- living life to the fullest with a big bunch of friends.

Yeah, I just saw them too cruising past Darwin St. on Tiger Tail. I've never tried it, but street skating should be fun. A heck of an exercise, I've seen a skater stick to a fast Bike group at 27MPH in Key biscayne. I had to sweat bullets to pass the guy..

Unfortunately for this bunch of guys, they must have been very careful and alert to avoid all the holes, tricks and turns, uneven pavement, debris and what not on Tiger Tail.
