Still My Favorite…

Though this has not been my best year for the garden–mostly because of this years experiment of seeing how close I can plant things and then neglect–I’ve still managed well enough. But tomatoes are by far still my favorite vegetable to grow. The one pictured above I ate today, and even though it is closerContinue reading “Still My Favorite…”

Things That Can Be Carried in a Cart

$36.79 in groceries. Sometimes I just have to use my feet. To me, walking is to bicycling as bicycling is to driving…it slows things down and brings things into perspective; I see and notice things when I walk that I likely wouldn’t if on a bike and definitely wouldn’t if in a car.  I neededContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried in a Cart”

Anyhow I thought I’d pass along a link of to site I’ve visit periodically, it posts only pictures of famous people on bikes–mostly from a bygone era–it’s called Rides a Bike. Click here, for example, to see a picture of BrianContinue reading “A Link and Clip”

Sometimes I Get Overwhelmed

I snapped this picture a few seconds after taking the bottom of the two previous photos. I was marveling at the beauty of the flowers–and that I had the day off–when I looked up at the sky (I find myself looking at the sky a lot these days). The jet pictured was flying directly overheadContinue reading “Sometimes I Get Overwhelmed”

How To Lock Your Bike

This is another short, informative, and exceedingly entertaining video put out by StreetFilms. Hal Ruzal, who has been a bike mechanic at Bicycle Habitat since 1978 (gotta love his Cheap Trick t-shirt), and Kerri Martin, founder of Bike Church, walk around and rate how people’s bikes are locked up. I remember some years ago whenContinue reading “How To Lock Your Bike”

Whole Wheat Brown Rice Garden Fresh Pizza

With the weather turning cooler I’ve been baking bread at home again (opposed to taking the raw dough to work to bake it where the ovens are on all day long everyday). And is often the case when I bake at home I’ll take half the dough and make pizza for dinner…and this is justContinue reading “Whole Wheat Brown Rice Garden Fresh Pizza”
