This just in...
...I've got a motorcycle.
Specifically, I've had a motorcycle since Friday. Spent the whole day running around (and thank you, radioactiveart for ferrying me back to my house from the bike shop) and giving a huge chunk of money to the RMV (wtf is up with that ridiculous tax? I feel sorry for people who buy new cars - ouch). Now I've got a shiny new bike that has 68 miles on it (hehehe) and I'm going to go ride it around today. Since I've got a cool bike, I anticipate going out to things (especially around town) more often just to have an excuse to ride the thing.
It's especially satisfying to drive on the roads like 146 and 122 and just enjoy the ride. I'm always struck by how you sense everything more - more to see, the smells, the sounds (well, besides the wind rushing by). I'll randomly smell flowers or someone's barbecue as I drive past, and it makes me smile.
This weather is perfect for riding my bike. Need to go do it some more. :)
