I never liked my 12 speed as much as my old banana bike. Thanks for the reminder of what my next bike should be- except not pink!

The best part is how gardens encourage generosity among neighbors. I love that! Because really, show me a garden plant that produces only precisely as much as the owner/tender can use, on precisely the needed schedule… no, there’s always extra and you hate to toss it away, so you find someone to take it. Everyone feels good about the exchange, and it’s very cool.
And you write your protagonist so well — that’s very cool, too. Will you bring her to TC’07, please? I’ll bring her a bike to ride.

Sorry Jenny, I got confused by the tassels.

You’ve done a perfect job describing her … I’m convinced I know her.

So, you got a lot of bikers in your neighborhood?
Seriously, though, I loved that story. You’re a nice person to worry, even though she is probably secretly hoping someone will steal it so she can get that mountain bike she’s had her eye on.

N’aw. And to think I was having this really shity day and was *this close* to posting about dog’s diarrhea and vomiting. And how I missed my flight to Florida because I lost my birth certificate. And how the whole world sucks more ass than (insert some random gay porn star here).
But you. You just made it all better.
Thanks!

I love this story. One year for my 22nd birthday, my brother fixed up this old 1960’s 3-speed bike for me for my gift. He even put the Pee Wee herman tassles on the handle bars and a horn on it and everything. For years I rode it everywhere I went. It’s still my favorite present ever.
Let me know. I’ll go in on the pink bike for your neighbor if the need arises.
