My monitor works when it wants to. My mouse clicks randomly. My cell phone only works for 24 hours at a time before I have to take it apart and put it back in the bag of rice.
So if you call me and you get my voice mail saying that I’m probably on my bike, it’s just as likely that my phone’s in a bag of rice and I will not call you when I get where I’m going.

I caught the Washington Area Balalaika Society in the park tonight.

I was a little less than half way through hiking Old Rag yesterday when the couple hiking behind us started talking about getting a Slurpee. I don’t usually crave mushy frozen soda, but at that point it was nearly enough to make me turn around and head back down.
Well, about three hours later when I found myself back in civilization and face to face with a barrel of slowly spinning Cheerwine slurshee. I love Cheerwine slurshee! I think that I can patiently go through anything with a cup of Cheerwine slurshee in hand.
As I was slurping the very last of my slurshee, I started thinking about how very rare it is to come across Cheerwine slurshee or even any kind of Cheerwine around here. I’m convinced I can make a redneck slurshee by freezing cubes of Cheerwine and then tossing them in the blender for a while. I just have to find Cheerwine first. I checked Cheerwine‘s web site, which is awesome, but it didn’t exactly say where I can get the stuff — only that if I go much farther north, I need to pack the cherry goodness with me. Does anybody know where I can get a 2 liter Cheerwine near Alexandria?

Just a reminder that next Wednesday, July 18th, is Pop Tart Day at California Tortilla. “Just come on in and get a FREE Pop Tart. No questions asked.”

I’m not entirely sure about motorcycle fashion etiquette. I just hope that the people I pass are saying, “Check out those sweet socks!”

It’s scrub-the-bathtub night at my apartment, and I feel like Cinderella.
Before the fairy god-mothers stepped in. Don’t get any ideas.
I am not wearing glass slippers.

One of the key things I learned in the Virgina Basic Rider Class was how to avoid road hazards and obstacles when on a motorcycle. Any obstacle that is lower than your front axle is surmountable, and thus it is possible to go over it. Any taller than that, and you’d better find a way around.
Chihuahuas are surmountable. So are dachshunds and Maltese. Great Danes are not surmountable. Dalmatians, not surmountable. All cats are surmountable. Possums, raccoons, chipmunks, all surmountable. Deer are definitely not surmountable. We don’t have elk or moose around here, but if you encounter them, they’re not surmountable.
Squirrels are consummately surmountable.
