Subject: Just saw the funniest thing on a ride...
I was coming to the end of a ride and a Jeep Grand Cherokee passed me with what looked like a rolled-up white rug sticking out of the sunroof. I realised that it wasn't a rug but a Samoyed (this deduction was helped by the fact that rolled-up rugs don't tend to bark loudly at passing cars).

About a 100 yards up the road I pull alongside the car and turn to my left to look at the dog, who then turns to look at me.... and it's wearing a pair of those kids' cheap red swim goggles, I guess to protect its eyes from the wind and debris. I almost lost the trackstand I was trying to do, from laughing so hard. Then the light changed and the car pulled away, with the dog happily barking at cars again.

I had a terrifying dog experience a couple weeks ago.  I was riding through a repaving area and it was down to a single lane.  The paving crew was using a lead escort vehicle at 25 mph, and I was keeping up with traffic because it was a long downhill.  A SUV pulled up alongside me quite closely--about 3' from my shoulder.  All of a sudden, a rottweiler stuck his head out the rear window and barked in my ear from about 12" away.  I almost fell off my bike I was so startled.

Would you believe they actually make goggles for dogs?

Yeah that's them - they look like those cheesy kids' goggles that all the little kids have at our pool in the summer so I assumed they were them.

Goggles for dogs... god, I love this country! Cool
