Only one new ear so far, and on the wrong side for traffic, at least in this

Always thought of you as more the Davy Crockett type.



"Wild" front ear would be more appropriate then.

Chris's jersey is vintage (mine are faux vintage).

Chris's MX is pre-1979 I believe; my Leica M3 is 1959, the 50mm lens is
1968.

Our charming companion, not seen in the video, is of course still only 21,

And of course, the limestone rocks are in the order of 260 million years

The only thing that's observably old in that is the cyclists.

Not quite OT as I was carrying my MX over my shoulder.

Ha! Would have done of course, but the temperature was 30 degrees C.
Woollen jersey and shorts were much more practical!
