“Scavenger Hunt” by Kim Lombard Robson
What I’m Reading Now
The Language of Bees - For Mary Russell and her husband, Sherlock Holmes, returning to the Sussex coast after seven months abroad was especially sweet. There was even a mystery to solve—the unexplained disappearance of an entire colony of bees from one of Holmes’s beloved hives.
But the anticipated sweetness of their homecoming is quickly tempered by a galling memory from the past. Mary had met Damian Adler only once before, when the surrealist painter had been charged with—and exonerated from—murder. Now the troubled young man is enlisting the Holmeses’ help again, this time in a desperate search for his missing wife and child.
Mary has often observed that there are many kinds of madness, and before this case yields its shattering solution she’ll come into dangerous contact with a fair number of them. From suicides at Stonehenge to the dark secrets of a young woman’s past on the streets of Shanghai, Mary will find herself on the trail of a killer more dangerous than any she’s ever faced—a killer Sherlock Holmes himself may be protecting for reasons near and dear to his heart.-

As a person who likes cycling, but is in no way a cyclist, I recognize that attitude from my cyclist friends. And yep, they actually are superior – I’m thinking it’s got something to do with wearing incredibly tight-fitting, headlight reflective clothing. Either that, or from inhaling all those exhaust fumes. 😉

Well, if you were to ask me or hubby, we’d contend that the fact that they wear those ridiculous skinsuits is a mark in favor of the argument that cyclists are, at least mentally, inferior.
Exhibit A: the Pee-Wee Herman Inspired Skinsuit. http://www.podiumcycling.com/cycling-jerseys/pee-wee-herman-skinsuit
Not to mention they seem to enjoy (?) riding mere inches (not exaggerating. inches) away from cars and trucks traveling 50+ MPH. But maybe I should check my premises. Maybe they’re all masochists.

LOL, that’s too funny! I refuse to wear the gear, or to pay the crazy-expensive prices for them, but from talking with my friends, some of whom compete, I do understand WHY they wear them….lol…I just will never understand why they have to be in such weird colors. Oh, and I also do understand the padded shorts…definitely.

OK, that’s the last straw. We’ll find out just how superior all the cyclists in my town are today….riding the wrong direction along carriageways and ignoring traffic lights, when they meet up with the bull bar on the front of my truck. I’m fed up with ’em. I’m off to harvest mahself some cyclists.

I did post designs for an ‘errant bicyclist harvester/crusher’ on my blog a while back. High time I manufactured it and started cleaning up this scourge.
