Back on the bike after a week of travel, two-and-a-half weeks of being sick. It feels great! It seems I’ve come back stronger, I’m now able to power up two out of three small hills on my neighborhood route without getting off the saddle. Unfortunately it’s put me way behind on the Seattle-Portland training schedule. […]

Can’t sleep, clowns will eat me. Comedy sketch with lulz. “Do you speak English? No, I don’t, sorry.” I could’ve sworn I linked to this before, but can’t find it.

Tonight I’m trying to master the perfect pitcher of iced tea. Perfect to me is something unsweetened, snappy and refreshing like what I can get at any local Tex-mex place at lunch. It’s not as easy as Lipton would have me believe. I bought some Lipton tea bags the other day, the first pitcher was […]

I never went to sleep last night. Drinking copious amounts of tea kept me wired all night long. This morning at 5:00 I drove downtown to wander around. The Republic of Texas bikers must’ve had one hell of a party, 6th street was covered in plates and cups and other trash. The street sweepers were […]

So far the winner is 1.5 liters of boiling water, 2 family-sized tea bags, seep for three minutes, then top off the pitcher with ice to chill it rapidly. It only has a hint of aftertaste, best batch so far! I’ve drank too much during this process, I’m bouncing off the damn walls now.

Somehow during the course of this morning when I was trying to find the difference between ‘alsjullieblieft‘ and ‘alstublieft‘, I ran across an old blog called Downwind of Amsterdam. This guy from the states lived in Naarden, just east of Amsterdam, for a little over a year for work. He gets a bike and extensively […]

I had this incredibly long, drawn out dream last night that my hometown was basically hit by LIT3 during a storm. I was up visiting, we drove back in to town and saw an old house engulfed in flames. We were wondering where the fire department was, went over the hill and saw several more […]

Well, House Bill 1815 which clarifies it’s legal to transport a handgun in a vehicle for protection without a CHL (provided you’re legal and not a thug, and the gun is hidden), is on its way to Perry. Senate Bill 534, which would have allowed CHL holders to transport and store handguns in their vehicles […]
