^ That's quite odd in this day and age! What kind?

It is?

No it isn't! -don't listen to her, her post was paid for by the oil-lobby.

Anyway--it's a Nakamura Phenom:

I would have preferred a straight road bike, but the last (or first) third of my commute is through a wilderness reserve.

I call it "Gilda". Because I already have a love-hate relationship with it.

I love the thought of losing weight, being fitter, polluting less, getting to work in less time, and giving the finger to a city that hates anyone who doesn't drive a car.

But I hate exercise.

Walking and running is exercise -biking is getting some fresh weather while you take your time getting there

Plus -of course- it's bound to be easier to find a place to park a bike than it is finding a place to park a car

I just got a new (old'ish) Kildemoes 'Street' -perfect for my needs (even if I have to get the saddle up an inch or two) around town.

I swear by all that's unholy--the route from home to work, and back, is uphill both ways.

That shouldn't be possible. And yet, horribly, it's true.

Don't I know it -worst part is the wind invariably changing around noon so both ways you'll have to ride against it.

Nice bike! Hope you enjoy using it!

And biking really is good exercise if you do it a greater than leisurely pace.

Well...

You gave yourself the answer. In most of the Western world people buy cars, not bikes.

^That reminds me of a poster one of the Sociology profs has on his door.

It says: "Heterosexuality isn't normal--it's just common."

The same could be said of "driving cars".

worst part is the wind invariably changing around noon so both ways you'll have to ride against it.

So--I have something to look forward to?

I scored today at the used bookstore. First, the "just usual" haul:

• Vulcan's Soul: Epiphany (hardcover) by Josepha Sherman & Susan Shwartz
• If Wishes Were Horses by Anne McCaffrey
• Crisis on Doona by Anne McCaffrey and Jody Lynn Nye
• A little book of maps based on Redwall by Brian Jacques (a gift for a friend)

Now any other day, that'd be a pretty good bookstore run. But then I found these, all in near-mint condition, all for between $4.50 and $5.00 each:

I know hardcovers are pretty much worthless used, but still it was a treat to get these beautiful books for such a great deal. Combined with credit I already had at the store, I got all of the above for less than $20.00 today. I'm a very happy lady.

 

[Goliath]

Nice--I have all of those Stephenson books in hardcover as well.

I ordered some Timothy pellets for my guinea pigs and some Barbie dolls for my collection. Yesterday, I ordered books.

Tesco sells online shops now?!

We are planing a movie marathon weekend, now and next weekend.

Nail stickers and a reusable glass water bottle. "Tap is terrific!"

TOS communicator app for my phone. The sound effects and image replication are amazing - absolutely delighted with it! I don't know why I didn't think to look for this before. And it is complete with flick open and closed action!

My next task is to look for this for the Android platform.

I went to the local NHL franchise's annual warehouse sale today. I landed $425 worth of sticks for $100. Here they are:

I'm using this one tonight in my game.

I just ordered some Princess Diana vinyl dolls for my collection.

I have both, but I use my car. It is completely impractical for me to use my bike for transportation.

I love movie marathon weekends! And Heaven Can Wait is one of my all time favorite movies. (The one with Warren Beatty.)


I bought Fifth Element for $3.99 on dvd. I plan on wearing ear plugs during the scenes with Chris Tucker.

This past Friday, I purchased the HTC EVO 3D from Sprint, an upgrade and so far I like it.

A big ol' plant pot -though wishing it were the other way 'round.

My mother also collects vintage dolls. I agree on Heaven Can Wait, but I prefer the Reese Witherspoon one.

Purchased this for myself as a birthday gift a few days ago...

Also made a stop on the way home from a funeral when we found this....

and so I bought a few bottles of wine after an impromptu wine tasting....
