On the bike…a cardboard box containing seven pints of homemade dog food (minced, leftover meat scraps), and a plastic milk crate containing a canvas book bag with–among other things–three books, and a nylon camera bag containing an extra camera and battery pack and charger. As I type these words it is January 10th and IContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#441), the View from My Handlesbars, and a Brief Comment”

Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#440)…and a quick note

On the bike…a cardboard box and plastic soda crate containing a gym bag full of wet clothes and nearly $70 in groceries (is it just me or have groceries become really expensive in the past year?). Just a quick note…I’ll be away from my computer for the next 4 or 5 days so I’ll likelyContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#440)…and a quick note”

Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#437)…and a brief comment

About $30 in groceries, a gym bag full of wet clothes, and two bottles of red wine. It is difficult to tell but the bike is locked to a city-installed bicycle rack which were installed on hundreds of parking meters (and also free-standing) around the city in the past few years. This is awesome…excellent! IContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#437)…and a brief comment”

Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#428)…and a view from my handlebars

Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#424) and the view from my front porch

As I arrived home this evening and walked my bike up the plank of gratefulness I turned and saw the image above. I’m not sure why but the swirly sky reminded me of a Van Gogh painting.
