I love bike traffic.
The first time I was cut off while riding my bike, by another bike I was ecstatic. I love seeing people ride around in the early morning hours. I love the double bike lanes. And I really, really love it when I am leaving the farmers market and two ladies hover to get my lock-up spot.
Yes I love bike traffic.
But really my love of bike traffic is just my love of bikes and reveling in the fact that so many people around me also love bikes. Bikes are exceedingly useful. They are transportation, exercise, and recreation. They are great for socializing or for having alone time. They are good for the planet. They are fun and elegant and logical. They make great gifts and
Weapons?

Dr. Horribles Sing-Along Blog
Go to www.drhorrible.com
I love this! In fact i think I will listen to the soundtrack on my way to school.
If I could be a villain or a super hero I think I would be a hero gone bad. I could name a few but I think the people knowing the names of these established heroes are not likely to frequent my blog. I will make them up.
1. I would have ultra telekinetic power! I would be consumed by my passion of my power and it would ruin me and the WHOLE WORLD. But perhaps love would stop me in the nic of time.
I have more. But I have to go to school now. I will write again!

Dogs Peeing
I have found some pictures of dogs peeing in highly inappropriate manners in honor of T-town girl.
Life . . . Seriously
I am really happy I have been asked to contribute to this blog. I very strongly believe that being easily amused is pretty much the greatest gift God has given me. Sour people may sneer at you, and think themselves above you because of your ability to be delighted at the world around you, but in reality they are denying themselves opportunities for joy.
When faced with an upsetting and stressful situation I like to play a game I will call “what if this were a sit-com?” This game is easy to play and pretty much described by the title. I will give you an example form my own experience not even a week ago.
I rode my bike down to the farmers market with my dog Taj. On the way home, I usually walk my bike until we are a few blocks away from the farmers market. Why? Well me riding a fully loaded bike + spastic dog running next to me + a leash from his neck to my right hand + any type of distraction for the dog = me and my fresh vegetables laying on the pavement. Not cool. So we are walking, steering bike with one hand, holding leash with other, and Taj decided he has to poo. Cool. I like it when he chooses to do that outdoors. So we stop to let him poo and I lay my bike in the grass, put his leash around my ankle and start to pick up after him. Then I turn around to find my dog has lifted his leg and is PEEING ON MY BIKE! On the handlebars to be exact. My shinny electric-blue leather handlebar tape has steaming dog pee trickling down it. Now my initial reaction is
Yeah. Nothing. I have no freaking clue what to do. I just stand there letting him empty his bladder onto my bicycle. Then I scare the crap out of two teenagers skateboarding in the street by yelling “What the hell do you think you are doing!?!?!?!?” The dog then stops peeing, the stake boarders look around to see who I am yelling at and I am thinking about how my gloves are going to smell like pee forever when suddenly . . .
I imagine how I would be reacting if this were happening to somebody in a sit com. I mean seriously, just writing this down, makes me laugh. Reading it you are probably laughing. It’s hilarious! Life is hilarious all the time!
Life is unexpected and shocking and funny. That is not to say life is not significant and important, I think Oscar Wilde said it best when he said “Life is too important to be taken seriously.” So don’t take your life for granted, but please don’t take it seriously either.
