50+ Photo Tip

We know there is a proper way to stage our bikes, drive side, big chainring, etc, etc. Here's a tip for selfies and other people pics. Close your mouth! Too many pics of we oldsters with jaws slack, mouths agape. It just feeds stereotypes. Even if we are in fact mentally diminished, we don't have to advertise it.

Reminds me.. Entering a place a couple weeks ago that required masks. I asked if a bandanna was OK. She said, "as long as it covers your face!" Had to laugh at that one.

Tip for the mentally diminished.
Avoid the cops when delusional - it causes a back-up

Absolutely! I used to ride with a team in a charity event. For the team picture I would always tell people to zip up their jerseys. Oh. Wait. Are you taking about the "other" zipper?
