stressed in the midwest

…. not me, but that person in CD 91067 — I turned left onto Main as a guy was getting into his parked car so I went wide, seeing a car hugging the right margin behind me… when I got ’round the car, I swung right and whooooosh!!! Big Acceleration! Most folks recognize that I’m moving over for them ….
Church and Mattis — don’t think I’ll call it in, but we did not get the green westbound until there were people on Northbound Mattis going left triggering that light. 3 cycles it was, so there were six cars in the queue ;P a TRAFFIC JAM!!!

I have been imagining being on an e-bike on the commute in. I tried to share an Xtracycle Facebook post but was informed it went against community standards the 3 assorted ways I edited, and NO I am not going to appeal. FB is like that horrible school system that’s what you’re stuck with for certain things so you only use it as needed and basically do damage control. I’m not sure I like what I’m imagining because when I rode the fast bike, I’d be going faster than expected — BUT with more of the faster things rolling out there, expectations are going to change, and the big bikes are more visible than that little Trek. Today, it would have been nice to go faster ’cause I was late. THere’s also my preference for riding something that’s Got Miles On It. The obvious solution is to decorate the thing 😉 … but first is dehumidifier and, oh, I get to pay taxes this year because of some things.

But it’s SUNNY (yes, the weather likes me) on this ECLIPSE DAY.
