mushrooms, riding and the economy
The weather is finally fairer, and so am I.
Boy, do I ever need some solar exposure to tint my melanin. As I encounter other riders around town, I note I'm not the only one. The working life hasn't been kind to my cycling life, or for that matter, my dearly departed bike tan. But things at work have been so slow lately, I'm finding myself having more free time (but less disposable income) for riding around. I expect I'm not alone there, either. I wonder how other riders in similar straits are coping? cheers, Tom -- Nothing is safe from me. I'm really at: tkeats curlicue vcn dot bc dot ca |

I was planning to wear shorts all weekend to try to take some of the 'dead fish belly' look off my legs so I could wear shorts to work soon ("to", not "at"). But the forcast is rain, again. |

Even if it rains, at least it's still warm enough for wearing shorts. And fingerless gloves. Might get the odd shower on Sunday, steadier rain on Monday (Victoria Day.) In a couple of weeks the crows will be brooding, and attacking everyone who gets too close to their nests. cheers, Tom -- Nothing is safe from me. I'm really at: tkeats curlicue vcn dot bc dot ca |

I wear shorts year round. In my case, I think it's rust, not tan. I've been having to wear sunglasses just to mitigate the gleam off all the other rider's legs. I'm sure I'm contributory, too. Some of the heartier riding souls in Vancouver wear shorts the year 'round, too. But not I. It's been such a lovely holiday weekend (Monday is Victoria Day in Canada,) despite dire weather forecasts. It just feels so good to finally thaw out, and be comfortably warm in sunlight. The tune: "The Sheltering Sky" from King Krimson's "Discipline" album comes to mind. cheers, Tom -- Nothing is safe from me. I'm really at: tkeats curlicue vcn dot bc dot ca |
