Why wait for the weekend?

Like roadwarrior says: a rare weekday ride. More pics at the official bikeclub site.

trying to be quirky or just plain dumb?

SEEZERS

sightings...

andj - at work; she was helping someone so we didn't say hello.

"Flaming Master" - a magnetic sign on the back of a minivan. After it turned I noticed on the side another magnetic sign that advertised a blacksmith.

A ball cap & suspender man escorting into the grocery store a young girl whose lower back was tattooed with a 6" swastika.

Who'd a thunk it?

Hitched - August 20th, 2005

yippee, a break

Two weeks off! Woohoo, time to work on the 3Rs: readin', ritin' and renovatin'. And maybe a little golf if the weather co-operates. And a bike ride or two.

Elaine! Elaine! Elaine! Elaine! Elaine! etc.

Watched this classic again over the weekend. If you've never seen it or haven't seen it in a while, you must. Don't bother watching it Full Screen, though, or you'll miss a lot of the great camera work and shot set-ups.

It has absolutely one of the best soundtracks of all time, featuring Simon & Garfunkel reworking 4 of their hits to fit perfectly with the picture. You'll also get to see the seed for many Simpsons and Seinfled gags (Mrs. Bouvier! Mrs. Boooooouvier!), and a lot of the camera work and acting styles used later in The Wonder Years.

Favourite line:
Of course, Mrs. Robinson, you're the most desirable of all my parents' friends.
