So the best way to describe an Italian Greyhound:
Attach a series of wires to your hand, and put a continuous 150 milliamps through it, so that every muscle is twitching and spasming. Then cut your hand off, but keep the current on, so the frail, boney hand continues to twitch and spasm about your house, leaving a trail of bodily fluids, while every nerve ending and synapse in your severed stump screams "why did I ever think that this was a good idea?"

Andy Cicero has a couple of Corgi's They're cool, and sadly, he was a BMC dealer in Golden till he closed up shop.

Bike is ready for the commute tomorrow. Working 5 days a week requires confirmatory test rides of the race bike to double as commuter miles.

@RollCNY's quote, earlier today, necessitated a screening of Raising Arizona in the rjones28 Cinema this evening.

i just typed out a wordy post about camping vs. staying hotels and by the end of it i realized hotels win. i was considering sinking a bunch of money into camping gear when i realized i only have to pay to sleep 4-5 nights and i'd be spending less just getting hotel rooms.
the trip down 395 on the Eastern side of the Sierra is breathtaking in terms of scenery, and also
has a number of interesting stops and sidebars along the way. The West and the open road.
