My pet American confirms - toy!
7 years agoOk let us know if any update. We feel way safer here on the fun side of the "wall".
7 years agoWe agree, but on the other hand these are bound to be flaky/crispy. Surely gooey is preferable?
7 years agoThanks Mike. Drivers here already seem more bike aware and the car is not so dominant - too expensive.
7 years agoAustralia is in to this also.
Pity they did not have one of those signs when you were hit by a vehicle in the US of A, Steve.
Mike
These would be a Violet attractant for sure!
7 years agoI know exactly nothing but the wires at the end make me think toy, as do all the visible plasticky looking screws. I’ll find a nearby American to ask though...VERY happy you seemed not to picked it up for a closer inspection. Good Grampies!
7 years agoYes, those are the kind that grow prickly pears found at times in stores here in Ohio. They also cook the pads (nopales).
7 years agoI was given a bike a lot like that as a kid, except this one has a functional seat...

Concrete walls are basically hurricane proof.
Our daughter has a VRBO place on St. Johns USVI that was hit by two level 5 hurricanes this year so I've seen videos of the damage and what survived and what didn't. Unreal! They came out OK!
Yet!
7 years agoIt is good when what you want to know lines up with what I know!
That's good and bad. It is good because you learn something, but it is bad because it inflates my reputation... In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. -Desiderius Erasmus - Or, as I usually say... My reputation exceeds me.
Lots of species of prickly pear are edible but few are grown commercially. I occasionally see them in stores here in southern OH, and even have bought them a few times... when on sale. In AZ, I would occasionally try one out in the desert, but had more glochids (tiny hairlike spines that grow around the base of the big spines) in my mouth than I would have liked. There's got to be a good way to get rid of them before peeling, but I never learned.
Good pet!
