Long Beach Cycle, 5/26/19

An all-too-familiar scene. 

As competitive as we can all be, it remains remarkable how respectful most folks are in the face of imminent opportunity.  As crates roll off any trailer, there is a controlled frenzy.  Early birds grab what they can, quickly.  But what is often coveted in the dark of morning is not so special as that which is found in the light of day.  Often, it's the smarter decision to be patient, plowing slowly, lingering long, and working hard--sweat equity often yields the greatest rewards.
