>I love this photo (which was found here). It’s a picture of Delaware Park in the city in which I live. The photo, I think, really captures what it’s like in this region during the autumn months. Delaware Park, is one of the parks that was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted.

The Impossible Journey
This is an interesting 8 minute clip, and it correlates with my previous post. It’s a short story of an artist named John Bonner who is attempting to commute from the North Shore (a Boston suburb) into Boston. The author does this with a sort of dry, tongue-in-cheek sort of way…it’s rather entertaining. I originallyContinue reading “The Impossible Journey”

(sub) Urban (non) Simplicity
A couple things. Firstly, I have no idea where this photo is from, but it could be a shot of any suburban street in America (I found the photo and the below cartoon here). And secondly, if you are a suburbanite reading this I mean you no disrespect (I spent my teen years in theContinue reading “(sub) Urban (non) Simplicity”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#103)
A really big pumpkin! This is actually an old image from last year…but thought it appropriate considering today’s date…Happy Halloween.

Codfish "Meatballs" in Tomato Sauce
If you are a regular reader of this blog you know that my diet is the opposite of a low carb diet…my diet contains a lot of bread, rice, pizza, and pasta (whole or multi-grains, mostly). At any rate I had pasta for dinner tonight (again!), and topped it with codfish “meatballs.” I know thisContinue reading “Codfish "Meatballs" in Tomato Sauce”

NYS DMV (part two)
Well, there it is…the Yuba locked to a tree in front of the offices of the Department of Motor Vehicles. There are hundreds (maybe thousands) of brand new bike racks throughout the city (click here to see them), yet none in front of the DMV…I’d like to think that I am not the only personContinue reading “NYS DMV (part two)”

NYS DMV
I was at the website of the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles today looking for a current city location (I have to renew my driver’s license…what a racket that is…almost seventy bucks, more if you request an “enhanced” license). Anyhow, I spotted a section on bicycles and thought I’d check out what theyContinue reading “NYS DMV”

A New Poll (on Meditation / Contemplative Prayer)
I’ve had a personal on-again and off-again relationship with meditation for the last five years or so. Everyone who meditates or prays contemplatively has their own personal reasons and results, and when I meditate regularly I know the benefits first hand (click here for 100 examples) . As of late (the past few months) myContinue reading “A New Poll (on Meditation / Contemplative Prayer)”

Practical Pedal in Buffalo
In the event that you haven’t come across it yet, there’s an interesting and quirky little quarterly paper called The Practical Pedal, which as you may have guessed is about practical bicycling (Click here for their website). There’s another paper devoted to urban cycling called Momentum (which is a little larger and has more content,Continue reading “Practical Pedal in Buffalo”
