I was in my bathroom this morning for some reason thinking about socialism and capitalism... you know, like you do before you're going to brush your teeth and go to work.  Doesn't everyone think this way?  (I thought not.)

Separatists (capitalists) draw lines in the sand. Taxes are a forced means to erase these lines.  We're contributing to the ( Read more... )

• BRRR!  On a bike!
• I saw two Acrtic Fox fifth wheels.  They were taunting me.
• The wind is harsh lately
• I'm glad I don't live in anywhere-but-Vancouver in Canada today
• Same goes for the Midwest

I was going to take the bus this morning, but after waiting 15-20 minutes for it, I decided to walk ( Read more... )

I bought með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust yesterday. If you don't know what that means, look at the icon. 5 more days...

Today, I rode through very thick fog on the way to work. Riding on a dutch bike in a suit is starting to feel less and less preposterous.

On my way to work today, I saw more than ten different species of blooming flowers.

It was a gorgeous walk... warm air and light rain enveloped me while I was munching on toast and having a ginger beer. This is why I live in Portland.

I have another OMWTW post.  This one is sort of odd.

I'm in the back of the bus.  The bus crests the hill as it does every day.  Suddenly, I'm overwhelmed with an extreme lack of focus.  I was intently reading my porn Sustainable Industries magazine, and I just couldn't finish the paragraph ( Read more... )

Wanderings and OMWTW
Now, I recognise (wreckonize!) that buses (why does that have one 'S'?  That would say 'byoosez'! BUSSES!) have the right-of-way in traffic.  But just because you have the right doesn't mean you should always take it. Is it hard to just let go and be cool?

Bus math
Buses' accelerationcould butt in and screw everything up, or you ( Read more... )

On my way to work today, I ran into my old friend from physics class and musician/jam pal JP. Last Friday, it was Mark and Amoree together on the same bus!
