"I was riding along singing quite loudly "Oh what a beautiful morning. Oh what a beautiful day", when another rider coming up from behind me joins in singing with me. I experienced surprise, embarrassment, then joy and laughter, then more joy, in that order. We were not in Oklahoma, we were in Wisconsin where I think the scenery on the river ride compels one to sing, or say "wow" and the roads are the best of any state I have ever been in. Wisconsin has it all," G. W. Ranum  Madison WI
