This is my favorite bike

My bike. A Surly Long Haul Trucker. The frame fades color from yellow to orange. The handlebars are wrapped with multicolor bar tape. the frame has a U-lock and a cable attached to it. The bike is in a park on a clear day, leaning against a cement bench. A trash can and a sign are visible in the background. The bike is sitting on a dirt circle with very short yellow and green grass around it. There are trees and cars in the distance. The sky is clear blue. Power lines overhead recede into the distance.

It's heavy and slow and wonderful.

Closing in on my Mortal Enemy as a new foe appears

As you know, Daniel Quinn is my mortal enemy – but my campaign to defeat him is working! At the start of this month, I had covered 18.66 percent of the San Fernando Valley. Quinn had 24.9 percent, the cruel…

Hello, Internet.

Dear Internet, How are you? Fine, I hope. I am fine. I’m sorry I haven’t written for a couple of months. I was really busy or something. So much has happened since my last note. The most significant thing is…

End of the year stuff

Things that happened this year, music I listened to, a ride I took. No Justin Timberlake whatsoever.
