agh. i could go on forever. my days are full of shock and awe at the unbelievable stunts people pull in the city. i'll never understand how there aren't deaths every day in boston on the streets, never.
gah!
Meanwhile carriage pusher is thinking, why isn't that cyclist wearing a helmet?
My sis and I have been wanting to have a dance party where everyone dark turtlenecks and we play some Kraftwerk and other old shool dancy electronic stuff. Kinda like Sprockets from SNL. Last night while watching one of the local bible stations (beamed in from the jesus college next door) I saw the John Tesh at Red Rocks performance. First I shed a tear. Then I though more about the dance party and this thread.
Call it a Cogs party. Wear your base layers or any technical clothing ya got. Wear ya face hugger helmet and we'll spin some of the Tour de France sound tracks that Tesh made. That would be awesome. Maybe provide some Zima. '90's dude.
Oh yeah. Wear a helmet.
