jackets

We’re doing some early Spring cleaning at our house. It feels good to get some stuff out of here. Of course, most of the stuff is mine….and “getting it out”…in my case, at least….often means that I just re-organize….and shift … Continue reading

holding on to what I think I know

I had a bus that looked just like this one….except not as nice and it didn’t run very well. I think that I ended up selling it for 400 dollars. Oh well. I put on a pair of bib overalls … Continue reading

aberration

OK….here’s a guy who lives in Los Angeles….is a photographer….and who doesn’t own a car and bicycles everywhere instead of driving. Now….it doesn’t rain a whole lot in California….but listen to him talk about some of the issues with riding … Continue reading
