 Slim1989 viewsIf slim had been on the freeway instead of a bike way he would be known as a sail snake.

(sail snake: a snake that has been repeatedly run over until flat and dried. Then you can pick it up and sail it like boomerang.)

Not to worry, Slim is living large in Virginia and having a fresh tourist everyday.
