Garage or car hold... you decide

Be careful bikers.

Lincoln is heating up and so are driver's temper tantrums.

I crossed A street by the zoo yesterday. Didn't push the button cuz I could get across without disrupting traffic flow. One gentleman in a truck went by and thanked me with a, "You F*(%ing A&&H@^#!"

I gave him the peace sign which evoked a "F*(% Bastard!" He seemed enraged to the point of getting outta his truck with a tire iron and cracking my skull. I don't think he understands the peace sign at all.

That makes a lot of stories recently of drivers showing hatred towards bikers bordering on death threats.

Tatoo Anyone?

We tried not to make BRAN too serious. Being the elite athletes we are, we didn't eat pie and ice cream in Wabach. Instead we opted to show patriotism to flag day by getting inked. These crazy cats learned that press on tatoos stick best to non hairy appendages.

Sunday was a good day to die

All I can report is that Wabash is a horrible town to go to if you want to do some Christmas shopping.

Anyone interested on Hookie Muppering this upcoming Friday?

Might rain, but who hasn't gotten H2O'd on this past week? We're all fish on bicycles now. (That means women don't need us, I think. I'm not a feminite so I just smile and nod my head.)

temp holding place until lj works again

Hmmmm... Friday I hunkered down after work. Played some tunes, drank some brews and watched some sci-fi.

Saturday, toodled... got hate remarks. Eventhough they were in jest, jeesh, just wanted to hit a hill. I get smoked on the flats and downhills. Every once in a while I get a hill or a headwind I like to take advantage of that. Anyways, got honked at by an angry driver. Their licence plate said, "BE HAPPY." There's a WTF. Joked with a fellow rider that they might as well had a "Nebraskans For Peace" sticker with a "Kill all cyclists, let God sort them out." Put up with a screaming baby and banananana jokes. Beth24 once asked why my knees are so red. I'm sure one of these days they're going to just pop. I wonder if I can get acupuncture for my knee joints?

Then, post ride, all ready for a Euro-qualifying afternoon followed with the US-China game. Instead, I got a heart-wrenching site. Some people would probs shoot bambi if bambi pooped in their yard. I'm not going to get into it but I got to witness suffering from someone else's act of cruelty. Sure, suck it up. Doesn't make life seem worthwhile. I was going to shake it off, instead I decided the only life I would harm is my own. Bought some smokes. Only watched the first half of the US-China game.

Sunday, found out early that I had a task to do. Had to reschedule my day. Ended up soloing to Eagle. It's a little bit of a trial getting to the trail now. Came home regularly, mopac to 34th and Y and then through the 'hood to the trail at the zoo. Finished up the US-China game. Watched the tail end of the Giro d'Italia. Watched some show about whether Joshua existed. Bedded down early.
