Bad boys, whatcha going to do?
Oct. 21st, 2003 08:27 amWe have a felony stop going on right outside our building. Three SJPD units, six cops, and two suspects from a 280Z lying in the street.
More biking.
Oct. 21st, 2003 10:43 amI'm really starting to get into this. At ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kengr;s suggestion, I've been doing short trips, mostly around our extended block. This has been good for developing a little muscle and endurance.
Last night, I actually made a useful trip. Kiri had forgotten to pick something up at the store, and aster a really long day, didn't want to move, so I hopped on my faithful charger and was off! Remind me never to ride during rush hour again. Getting to Safeway wasn't so bad, but coming back I was almost creamed twice by inattentive drivers. I guess I need to signal in a more attention-getting manner.. a MP5 might do the trick ("I'm merging, damn it, and you're bleeding!")
Still haven't figured out all the gears. I'm still in pretty low ranges on both derailers. Contrary to what common sense (and twenty-odd years of driving a stick) tell me, the lower gears seem to be easier. I may head down to Almaden Lake Park and experiment on the trail there.
Oh, and I look ,like a total goober in a biking helmet. But then again, everyone on Earth looks like a total goober in a biking helmet.

Open the Book of Soda to the 23rd can..
Oct. 21st, 2003 05:26 pmCaffeine is my shepherd; I shall not sleep.
It maketh me rise in the early hours: it leadeth me to a full state of wakefulness.
It restoreth my brain: it leadeth me in the paths of being truly buzzed for its name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of sleep, I will fear no decaf: for it is with me; thy soda and thy coffee they comfort me.
It preparest a beverage before me in the presence of mine enemies: it anointest my head with sweat; my cup needs refilling.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the bean forever.
