The good news is, it was a beautiful, crisp fall morning.

The bad news is, some cretin smashed glass all over the path.

The good news is, I went back and picked up the glass.

The bad news is, I can't be sure I got it all.

The good news is, I had a spare tube.

The bad news is, it had a hole, too. (WTF?)

The good news is, I had a patch.

The bad news is, my "fits both Schrader and Presta!" pump doesn't.

The good news is, I had an adapter.

The bad news is, the patch let go so now I have a nice road bike with a flat rear tire in my office.

The good news is, there's an LBS about a mile away that will sell me a tube--maybe one without a hole.

The good news is, it's a beautiful, crisp fall morning.
