Shades of Imelda? Not On My Salary
Keep listening! (See below.) I know I will.
It snowed here last night. It's SPRING, gosh darn it!
I've already started riding my old mountain bike in to work in the mornings, as is my tradition. It's a good way to sneak in some extra miles and the route includes the biggest hill in the county (which isn't saying much). I read somewhere, probably some pro-bike propaganda, that if your commute to work is about 5 miles or less, the time saved by driving is negligible. It seems to be true. If I drive, with lights and rednecks in the way, it takes about 8 minutes. If I ride, it takes 9 and a half.
I even got a new pair of shoes to wear there (I use SPD sneaker-y shoes on the ride, so I always keep some shoes under my desk.) At the store all they had was various kinds of indie kid footwear, like those things that look like old suede sneakers, the only other option being things that look like lumberjack boots. I've already got a couple of pairs of Docs, so I went with these:
I am amazed that it took so long for these styles to penetrate the midwest from the coasts and I still think they look like clown shoes, but I'll deal with it. There's lots of toe room for my poor doggies, so that's a plus. I tend to have rather narrow feet that get wider at the toes (well, everybody does, to some extent). Plus, buying them at JC Penney's is not very indie.
This post could have been about something interesting.
