>So there I was…coasting down a slight incline this evening. I had just left the gym and felt refreshed; had a couple slices of pizza for dinner on the rear rack. I noticed the front break is rubbing against the rim. Not unusual, I thought; the caliper just needs some adjusting. So I lean forwardContinue reading “>Scary Situation (and stupidity on my part)”

Day and Night

Food Philosophy 1917
Image found here. This is a 1917 print by the illustrator, Frederick G. Cooper. Is it just me or is this just as appropriate today (maybe even more appropriate) than it was 93 years ago?

Amazing (and a little scary)
This is a 1-gig flash drive that one of my dogs mistook for a small chew toy. After I retrieved it from his mouth I looked at it a little closer.
