 a great scene: when the world is against you, well, go with it to see where it goes!  happiness is a drolly cat in a lovely home, snuggling.  i wondered if they knew what was on the other side: fish steaks.  even in the middle of the city, hymn of autumnal gold radiates.  bicycle reborn! must wait till sandy is gone and rain stops... wait! now i can break in rain!  weeping,  with open flesh wound, torn and broken.  gorgeous flowers that arrived with gorgeous lady guest.  having my daily wheaties.  giraffe outside of my window one morning. i live on 32nd floor...  just in case the suburbanite joggers are super motivated...  what happened here? quiet sunday morning by a burger shop.  aftermath of sandy. it used to be a beautiful weeping willow. 'im a bit different but you love me anyways' had to try very hard to not take him home!

pop! pop! waa! haha!

i have a sears catalog bike from 1973-4.  i inherited it from a friend while i was still doing my doctoral degree- so about 4 years, ive been riding it.  it's an old thing- somewhat small steel frame, 10 speed gears it says, but it really does... on speed.  but at least it's dependable- no untold gear shifts in middle of a ride.  the breaks are old and the seat is crumbling. but i do love the bike.  bright orange with faded spots.  though i still 'owns' a decent mountain bicycle (my good friend is taking care of it for awhile now), my first choice was always this little orange bicycle. recently toronto's been having much rain. and it means i cannot ride my bicycle, as the break cables are loose and stretched out, there is a sure guarantee that my bike wont stop in time when it rains... sounds like an excuse but i dont have any bike tools (and yes it would be hard to find the right ones for it- except... may be make real investment and get adjustable tools...)
