/bloody/knuckle/scrapes/

bike shop mechanics aren't inherently trustworthy

captain hook has a bloated fat neck stained with ink

morning bike rides are refreshing

loose rear wheels are not

(strange)rs can be helpful

grease stains don't look flattering on a baby blue canvas

wounds to the knuckles of fingers erase intricate creases

makesmewet

walked to work today after looking at the weather radar

high probability of getting wet

wet is what i became

my raincoat kept my ipod dry

fleetwood mac 'rumours' kept me

the little beads of rain on my jacket were enjoyable

wet corduroy was not

moved to the "west"

/so i moved out "west"/

it has been a collection of adventures and life changes

i miss people

i meet people

for the most part i like people

but baseheads give me the willies

applied for food 'stamps'

bought an old road bike

tomatillos in the backyard=salsa verde
