Change

Life pulled tight, living in a daily addiction.
Yesterday, today, tomorrow, now, I do not drink.
I going to kill the addiction, destroy it forever.
Embrace living life-free.
Normal.

Miles

Quick update on my bicycle mileage:
Total 1335
High month 418
High week 127
High day 30

Have, probably, the same in total mileage riding on buses and Trax. 32 months to go.

And so it goes...

I'm on my way to be with my fellow travelers on this journey of sobriety (i.e. group), and as I dismount off my bike I notice that the Tracks-Train has a billboard displaying the following:
Two pictures of the same person, side-by-side, for comparison purposes.
Picture one (in my humble and unpaid opinion) is of a gal with her hair, makeup, and studio lighting done by professionals. She wears a smile (her own, I believe) and a blue shirt with white lettering: "In College".
Picture two is sans any professional artistic work, looks as if she has been awake for forty eight hours, and dare we say it is a bad hair day. She wears a frown (her own, I believe) and a blue shirt with white lettering: "In Rehab".

And so it goes...

My Return

I have not forgot about blogging. I am in the middle of a move to a new home. I am waiting on Comcast to run cable and internet to my new place. I am doing this blog from the public library. I shall be back.

Another Ride


It's a Plain-Jane. Built it from three old used bikes left in my new garage (old garage - new to me).
It's a two speeder. With kick back shift, and coaster brake. I kept the front brake incase the rear brake fails. The rear brake is internal, you back peddle to engage the brake.
Single sprocket front and rear, no derailleurs.
Ah, back to my childhood.
