Today was a nice change of pace as we rode through Phoenix. We rode along a 12 mile bike path and through pleasant neighborhoods filled with the scent of orange blossoms.
It was interesting to see many homes with arid landscaping using native plants.
While we were pedaling away, the guys were enjoying watching their second spring training baseball game.
There was also a chance encounter with another adventurer who is walking across America to promote healthy life styles. His sign reads 'Go walk 20 minutes today' Check out his blog at www.enjoythewalk.org

The only quote I can think of in the same vein as the one from your waitress would get your blog in trouble. So I'll just fill in the sketchy information you provided about the baseball game:

Why the panniers? You gave your SAG crew the day off for baseball?
