Them and Their Bikes
I am not normally a fan of rap music (with the possible exception of early Beastie Boys and Grandmaster Flash) but this is pretty good…and it has a positive message (something, it seems, which is often difficult to find these days). It’s an ameture video which won a contest for 1MinuteToSaveTheWorld; it’s worth watching, andContinue reading “Them and Their Bikes”

Snowy Ride in…
Here’s a picture as I arrived at work this morning. After last week’s thaw and the new blanket of pure white snow it looks more like the beginning of winter than the end. And being frigid cold again, I was glad–as I often am–that I only have a short ride in the morning.

Plus de Neige
This was somewhat unexpected…I didn’t know we were supposed to get snow tonight. I thought the winter was winding down. None-the-less I still find it beautiful.

A Few Toronto Pics (and a couple comments)
I was in Toronto the last couple of days and, as usual, was impressed. I go there once or twice a year–as I have for the past 25 years–for a day or two simply for a quick overnight (or two) getaway. It is a mere 100 miles (160K) from Buffalo, and only two hours awayContinue reading “A Few Toronto Pics (and a couple comments)”

Full Moon over Allen Street (denuo)
On my way home from work tonight I was so taken by the moon I had to snap a few photos of it. I posted a photo of this a month ago from this same spot (at the last full moon…that photo was better; more dramatic, click here to see it). And though this imageContinue reading “Full Moon over Allen Street (denuo)”

Bikes Haul
Photo credit: Paul Freedman of Rock The Bike. Firstly I would like to say that I don’t know who this person is or where the photo was taken (I came across it here), but I thought this was so impressive that I’d pass it along. The guy is riding a Mundo, pulling a fully-loadedContinue reading “Bikes Haul”

Something Beautiful
Photo Credit: The Buffalo News It is so nice to see something as beautiful as this in the daily paper (which often seems to focus solely on the negative side of humanity). Pictured above is Gerda Klein–author, historian, crusader of tolerance, and Holocaust survivor–as President Obama places the Presidential Medal of Freedom on her. IContinue reading “Something Beautiful”
