Handling "On The Virg" and this one became too much, so me lovely wife Mary is now Helping.
I'm the one on the right. Snoddy (It's Sno"ddy" not "tty.") is a Scottish name with an interesting history. Fergus served with Bruce and Wallace. He was taken prisoner and escaped during a snowstorm. To avoid recognition, he called himself "Snowday" in honor of his escape. "w" and "y" were not yet in the alphabet so it was "Snoda" which soon became "Snode" and later into Snody and Snoddy. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, he changed his name back to Fergus sometime after Bannockburn. Sure enough, some 300 years later, Charles I declared that all Protestants should be killed. Fergus was again captured and sentenced to die the "day after tomorrow." He again escaped during a severe snow storm. This time, he fled to Ireland and again in memory of the day he escaped, he called himself in broad Scot - "Snow Day", which we have made "Snoddy" meaning "a snow day." He didn’t change it back this time.
Unfortunately, there are no pictures of the actual race yet. These are from the previous day’s training/carb loading session. Jim did show his ass, but the good news is that Dr. Paula, an expert on the subject, confirmed what many of you already knew-It’s beautiful.
Beloved did too.
