Box And Bike

-
I am down to maybe one or two boxes left to ship in my great move to El Paso. I am thinking of riding the empty trailer to the UPS Store, dismantling it, then ship it as the last shipped item. The bike will ride in the car with Marcy and me when we make our departure trip, or should I say our arrival trip, depending if you want to think of it as coming or going. Let it be known to the world though that cycling in Austin has been a whole lot of fun. More than that. It has been a wonderful way of life. It's no secrete that there are some cities in the USA that are more bike friendly, I think Austin is one of those. However there is always competition for space on the road no matter what city or what form of transportation. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, and yes, even bicycles jockey for space when the asphalt footprint gets crowded.
This news clip from California gives good reference to this situation.

Let's all get along and
Share The Road

  I didn't know what I was getting into when I started selling a little marijuana for some friends. All I wanted was to make just a little money while I was going to school at the university. Things seemed to work a little at a time, and before I knew it. I was learning several things, other dealers. I tried to organize when people wanted to come to get products to show that not all the dealers would be arriving at my house at the same time. That was a hard thing to do, especially since the same house is a party place almost every day. My two young daughters Exposed to this kind of living, and they were very young, happy, and smart. They got to know a lot of people, both men, and women. They got along with everyone, but I look back and see that they did not realize ordinary early on teaching yet.  As the business was continuing to get larger with wires meant that I had to also buy bigger loads of products. I am talking about marijuana. The day came when somebody came to me and...

Monica, my middle daughter, is doing what she usually does. SMILE. She knows a lot about big truck parts and little truck parts and car parts too for that matter. She now drives a cool company truck. I congratulate her for how well she is doing. She already knows I am a bit envious that I never got to drive a company truck home. Way to go Monica

First Things First

First thing I had to do this morning was go back to yesterday's post and edit it. I can't believe that I misspelled my wife's first name. I got a nice congratulatory email from Terry Brisbin the other day and gently corrected him on the way he spelled Marcy's name, lo and behold I did the same thing. Ooops. Done. Marcy has also given me encouragement to write more often like I used to. Thank You Love. Riding was good this morning, the temperature was about 60 degrees. I think that's the first time it has been that low. I am going ride back to the apartment at lunchtime, drive the car back because I have the teaching job tonight. If this all works out well, I may do the same thing tomorrow. Tomorrow after work I drive to the airport so I can do my plane commute. Friday nights are always worth living for I have been thinking about Tom and Sherry, two university students who worked hard in their studies and parties hard when they had the chance. On a particular Friday ...
