Beauty, joy will always be free

They're very interesting to me... those rich folks in their fancy houses. I mean the ones that feel so violated by cyclists on the DBB @ night that they need to call and do something about it.
First off... I think we can agree that there is little discussion regarding whether or not you can ride there at night- you can't. It's a bad idea.
However, I am amazed that someone would have the ambition to make it their mission to call in reports of such activity like the DBB is part of their frickin HOA and someone left their trashcan out overnight.
It is ridiculous to me that we should feel intimidated into submission by these folks and their "golf buddies" for no better reason than they feel that the DBB is part of their profanely oversized backyard, oh- and that they have lots of money.
It's sad really, that these folks have no better way to spend their time. No other happiness in their dim lives to distract them from the flagrant happiness of others; no other motive than to interfere with it. That all that money couldn't suck any more marrow out of life must really perturb them.
And there I am, riding on a trail for free, unburdened by conscience or care, enjoying a little slice of heaven that they couldn't buy. Maybe it's not the lights that they're complaining about. Maybe the smiles are visible from there.
