It is in excellent shape, other than the rotting tires. I would really like to put new tires (and tubes?) on it and have the spokes professionally adjusted, so I'm not afraid to ride it...and also to see if I can pedal it more than 1/4 mile without my ticker seizing up.

I don't remember what model it is off the top of my head, but it is very similar to the Trek 820 that was provided when I did a group day tour of Bermuda over 15 years ago. Thought that we were going to all wind up in her majesty's prison that day for trespassing at (billionaire?) Stewart Motts' estate, but the guy was super-cool and even invited our tour guides back for dinner! That rather odd but memorable encounter made the assteroids that I suffered for the next few days worth the pain.

Bringing this back to the original topic, he lived on an oriental "junk" boat in the Hudson River off Manhattan at one point just because, and drove a Volkswagen despite being an heir of a General Motors founder.....

I’ve got two today.

I wish the passenger mirror would dip faster when I shift into reverse. I hate waiting for it to show me the curb.

I wish the rear view camera would boot up faster after I start car and shift into reverse.

Man I hate to wait.

I made a really delicious chicken salad for lunch.









...but left it in the fridge today instead of bring it to work. My only options in the area I'm in today are eat something from McDonald's and regret it for the rest of the day, or something from a gas station.

I don't know why they stopped making salads. Some of the girls in the office are obsessed with Mikey Ds. Their salads were pretty good in a pinch. Now, I'm on my own if that is the lunch choice.

The problem is McD's always messes with my stomach, especially their fries. It always tastes good but I pay for it later. I haven't eaten it in a while, which will usually magnify this problem. It kinda sucks that where I'm working today is out in the middle of nowhere.

McDonald fries are great when they're hot but can also be used as building insulation when cold.

I had a piece of fry fallen and went underneath the front seat of my car. 3 years later when I turned my lease in, I found that piece of fry perfectly intact. That tells me it's a perfectly safe. Much like the inert polystyrene of a cooler.

Micky D's or gas station sushi, that is the question? Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the vomiting and abdominal cramps of botulism, or to twist arms wiping a sea of diarrhea.....

I actually went down and sweet talked the cafeteria ladies at the high school I was working in and was able to buy a pretty decent sized lunch for $3.

In all seriousness, I can count the number of times in the last 35 years that I've eaten in the cafeteria where I work on just two fingers. I'd rather get away from work or lock my office door and eat lunch.....

So you're the one who got the last Elio's pizza, sliced apple, and ice cream sandwich that my kid wanted. Thanks.
