I've actually been thimking of all y'all during my 10~12 mile
cycle commutes to work. You have my sincerest sympathies
(seriuosly, and with none of that "move closer" bullshit).  

When I drive into the city, like i did last saturday afternoon,
I'm fuckin' stunned at the full-metal constipation of the ike and
kennedy et alia. I'm surprised nobody's aten their gun while
driving on those roads.

Heck, when I'm on my bike, about the worst thing that happens to
me is the occasional flat, or maybe a gopher or a Canada Goose
stuck in my spokes.  Construction on the River Trial/Prairie Path
means the hott college coeds are clearing brush.
