i feel a song coming on. the twelve commutes of x-mas. anyone want to write it? tokolosh... maybe you write one line each of those twelve days. actually, i hate all of the versions of the twelve days of x-mas, including the original. but anything bike related can keep my interest for a while.

thanks for reminding me to charge my battery. i forgot to yesterday, and my ride home was, let's just say, a little dark. a car and a bus independently cut me off by turning in front of me. both times i yelled obscenities and threw up my arms, but i'm pretty sure they just didn't see me. i gotta get at least a blinkie for the front. something i don't have to charge every day.
