The Summer of Matt
I've decided to take every other Friday off and enjoy myself this summer. Today I went to the gym, played with my dogs and took them for a long walk, went for a bike ride, cleaned up around the house, went out to India Gate for lunch then sat outside and relaxed and typed a paper.

The downside is that I'm a little sunburned and my laptop battery is almost dead.

I might sell my soul to have the whole summer have the weather we had this week.

I think that's great. I don't work Friday-Sunday , at least for the summer. I end up working long days during the week to make up for it but it is so nice to have three free days in a row to do whatever I want. Especially now with the nice weather! Enjoy!

Where the bike racks go?
I've started riding my bike as much as possible instead of driving my car. Mostly so that I don't have to pay for gas. The only bad part of it is that in the suburbs there are hardly any bike racks. Wegmans on Alberta insists on putting a picnic table right infront of the rack, so you either have to be the only bike that gets the end of the rack or you have to move this heavy table to free up the rest of the spots. No bank has a rack, barnes and noble (actually that entire plaza lacks a bike rack) Bert's Bikes on NF BLVD doesn't even have a bike rack.

Contrast this with the city, where almost every shop has a bike rack or a parking meter you can lock your bike up to.

The suburbs are so pedestrian unfriendly its not funny.
leetee - 06/16/06 11:05
Totally. I hate the pedestrian unfriendly nature of suburbs in general. Even for walking.

It's one of the things i do not miss about Knoxville. The whole place felt like a giant suburb, with bad public transportation, not very many sidewalks... and i don't recall much in the way of bike racks.

Vespa & the Man
There is something sadly unmasculine about a guy riding a vespa. I went to the bank today and there was a guy in his 40s making a scene about his line of credit or something. Apparently the corporate office told him one thing and the woman at the bank was telling him something else. Anyway he left all pissed off. He storms out of the bank and I happened to be following him. He huffs his way to the parking lot and... gets on his vespa. he was so pissed off he didn't buckle his helmet. I almost peed myself laughing. He was really pissed off and I think that's what made it so funny. I looked back and the woman was standing in the doorway laughing too.

I think Buffalo needs a vespa dealer. I think we're a vespa town.
mrdt - 06/14/06 21:30
If it didn't get so god damn cold I would say a vespa would be a great investment to ride around Buffalo.
jenks - 06/14/06 21:24
my friend in high school had a scooter. Not as cool as a vespa, but I honda spree. I coveted that thing.... I did eventually get a used one, and it was so perfect for downtown in the summer when there's no parking... now it gathers dust in my parents garage, but I use it to go to the beach when I'm home. It's perfect. It's super slow, but so fun.
mrmike - 06/14/06 21:22
You may have a point about the unmasculine side of things. Hell, the guy probably looked popeye stomping off like that, but I want a vespa too
lilho - 06/14/06 20:48
i would sell my soul for a vespa. well, i would just sell it for money...
