do modern bikes have a speedometer?
No but a lot of riders have bike computers. I can never get mine to work correctly though.
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

My bike totally had an odometer, which was a mixed blessing. Going down a very steep hill in VA, my speedometer registered 38pmh. My first thought was 'whheeee'. My next thought was 'pebble.' Then came the terror. I wish I hadn't known how fact I was going. The rest of the time I wish I hadn't known how fast I was NOT going.

MOG, they're still cutting down trees next door.
Yesterday, they were cutting and grinding up trees three doors down and I thought it would drive me mad or at least madder.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Allyson, can I meet your mother?
Sure. She asked me if we could go to the beach so she can see the Pacific, so maybe we can meet up for lunch? I was thinking of taking her to Santa Monica Pier.
ETA: Are you sure? When I think of my mom, I often think of Edina's mom on Absolutely Fabulous, but that could all be in my head.

Erm, I've had to be skippy and skimmy lately, but did we know that Pushing Daisies is on WB (at least their site)? [link]

Feh. I have had a twitchy eyelid for the last few days. What's that about?

Stress. Sometimes potassium helps, so reach for a banana.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Apricots have more potassium than bananas, in case you don't like bananas. (My sister hates bananas, and loves apricots, yet stubbornly persists in making herself eat a banana every morning for the potassium. When I ask her why, she claims she doesn't really hate bananas. Don't be like my sister, banana-haters! You have options!)
Sweet merciful mother of god. I thought the chainsaws had stopped, but they're back. How can there be any trees left over there?
Is it ridiculous of me to want to move somewhere where I can hear NO sounds generated by humans and their damn machines, ever?
