Bling

The old west is alive and well here in Jackson, where we decided to spend a day without riding. We're a little ahead of schedule and would like to take a day off once a week to maintain our sanity. It was raining at 9 this morning, and rained on and off all day again, with the temp around 55. Too cold for my flip flops, so it came down to wearing bike shoes all day. It was basically a metrosexual type of day, with visits to the artsy furniture store, the art gallery, and I was even drug into a bead store to admire the beautiful inventory. Then decided to go to a movie, which was very good, called the Counterfeiters. The other movie at the theater was Sex and the City. Very interesting.
When we left our show, the line was about 30 women deep, with one guy thrown in, just to be the exception. The Thai restaurant we were eating at had a perfect view of the spectacle to come. Women started arriving and walking past our window seats on their way to the movie. They were all shapes and sizes. Starting from the top, the hair was done up, the big hanging earrings, some type of flashy necklace, some with Scarlet O'Hara hats on. Then came the low cut or spaghetti strap blouse or dress, some backless. These women had goose bumps. There were spray on jeans, miniskirts, waist bracelets or whatever those are called, sequins and beads. It was either black stockings or naked legs, at the end of which were high heeled shoes of every kind, some with no strap. Two women I saw had very athletic legs with a knee brace on,walking down a wooden sidewalk with all kinds of gaps and uneven knotholes. I guess they wanted a knee brace on the other leg. And yes, there was the odd gal with the tutu, long pants underneath, and cowboy boots. It is Jackson after all. The gal that was covered in tatoos was a strange combination of Popeye and a hooker.We drank our bottle of wine and enjoyed the scenery.
Tomorrow we'll be back on big O and I'll be back in the blue tights, cause it will be about 40 when we start. The plan is to get to a resort at the base of a pass west of Dubois, then on towards Casper after that. About 40 miles tomorrow. Happy birthday Nic, and get well bonecrusher.
