One thing though. I would suggest not whatching your IPOD as you travel on your bike. THe other day I was whatching Marina the blond philologist on my ipod. I was riding down the business district sidewalk, near my house digging her intelegence, when all of a sudden a man flung open the door to the chocolate store! Before I new it I was doored and there was nothing I could say. At least I learned the orign of the word "pedigree".
