>http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=-1753917347928363206&hl=en&fs=true I just came across this short documentary (27 minutes) and if I had to sum it up in a word it would be: excellent. If I could use another it would be: inspiring. I know many have probably seen this before–given it was originally released in 1992–but I had not. And I found itContinue reading “>Return of the Scorcher”

Fortune Cookie Philosophy
Friday nights are somewhat of a loose tradition with my son and I…we rent a movie and order Chinese takeout. And I always look forward to the fortune cookie at the end of the meal, not so much for the actual cookie but what my “fortune” will be. Call me a sap but I reallyContinue reading “Fortune Cookie Philosophy”

Wholesome Food
Image found here. I found this image interesting in that it was first published in 1922 by United States Public Health Service. You’d think this would have sunk in in the last 88 years. Click the image if you’d like to see it larger (at least I have the tooth brush part down).

New Chain Guard…New Squeak
Last week I posted on prepping the Mule for winter (click here) and one of the things that I wanted to do was install a new chain guard. Well, the short answer is that I was able to install it and I really do love it. I love how efficient it is and I loveContinue reading “New Chain Guard…New Squeak”

Miracle In A Chilean Desert
Image found here. By now everyone around the world has heard of the safe rescue of the 33 miners and two paramedics in the Chilean mine, but I still felt the need to offer a brief post. I applaud these men for their spirit and endurance; it is beyond my comprehension. It’s said that aContinue reading “Miracle In A Chilean Desert”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#228)…and a comment
Dinner! As I was pedaling home with pizza on my front rack, and seeing the words “We Deliver” on the box, I thought a couple things. One was that I deliver also (my own pizza, that is), but it also reminded me of a pizzeria I saw when I was in Boston on holidayContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#228)…and a comment”

Groovy Bikes on Allen Street
I came across this gaggle of hepcat bikes parked outside a restaurant on Allen Street the other day (and yes, I meant gaggle not Google) and happened to have my camera with me so I thought I’d share the photos. These bikes made me smile; their owners obviously have a sense of humor.

Sidewalk Brussels Sprouts
Over the years I have really grown (pun intended) to love cruciferous vegetables but have never really had much luck in my garden with brussels sprouts…usually all leaf and no vegetable. But that’s not the case this year. I have 4 plants growing in my front yard about 12 inches from the sidewalk. Maybe itContinue reading “Sidewalk Brussels Sprouts”

The Last of the Tomatoes
I rummaged around the garden in the rear of my house today and was surprised to discover tomatoes hanging from the vines and lying on the ground…not bad for the second week of October. There are still a fair amount of green ones hanging on the vines which I didn’t pick but probably should have…IContinue reading “The Last of the Tomatoes”

Autumnal
The day today was idyllic and classically autumnal. It’s rare for me to have a Saturday off of work, so I took the opportunity to enjoy the day on my bike while running errands. Whenever I’m heading to North Buffalo by bike I always try to make it a point to take the long wayContinue reading “Autumnal”
