"Claire Petersky" wrote in message ... I recently received an email from someone who apparently didn't find me so saintly. A post I had made to a local commuter board expressing frustration regarding traffic at a particular intersection caused someone to let me know that she thought that I was a hypocrite for advocating meditation in my sig and at the same time being angry about cars and being inconsiderate by blocking traffic and taking the lane. Well, she should see what an angry, nasty bitch I'd be if I didn't have meditation as a resource. I'd be even more of an emotional basketcase, probably on drugs or psychotherapy or both. The zendo is not a hall of saints, but an asylum from lunacy. I don't get what causes people to post or email purposely hurtful things. Why write disparging remarks about other people, especially without provocation? If someone bugs you, a quiet killfiling would seem to suffice. Why be mean? Warm Regards, Claire Petersky "The zendo is not a hall of saints, but an asylum from lunacy." ...nice! |

Even if there are "Detour" or "Road Closed" signs up, nobody believes 'em. I think it's a translation problem. In the book, it seems like the meaning is "there are roads that should not be followed." I have traversed a few "closed" roads in my time, but have faced at least one that stuck me entirely. I love it when you can pick up your bike, step over, under or around a barrier and keep going. Once a major diversion involved hoisting the bike over a fence to get around the stabiliser pads of a working concrete pumper truck taking most of the back lane and an officious labourer with a hard on for bikes or something taking up the rest. I wan't going to turn around and he wasn't going to let me through. So fukit dummy, I'm gone. You're stuck holding that stupid sign. One of my favourite "bike routes" is a sketchy single track through the blackberry and scrub south of Home Depot on Terminal Av. Portage the railway tracks, cross Great Northern Way and Broadway on Glen Drive up to 10th. Head west, homeward. -- zk |
