    Dear car,

    I was really looking forward to a bike ride in this beautiful weather today. Instead I got to deal with wreckers, mechanics and rental car people. You're getting traded in, you worthless piece of s***.

    Dear Oakleaf,

    I feel your pain. Both my and my brother's cars died last week. So tired of dealing with cars.

    Back to bikes.

    Dear People of the World:

    I know there are big problems out there, but never mind. One of you is going to buy my condo eventually, so why not just get on with it? Then you will have a fine place to live and you'll be able to do other stuff. (and so will I).
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    Dear self:
    We're riding next weekend, okay? Unless it rains heavily or something.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    Dear Knee and opposite hip,
    Obviously standing around for 3 hours today while helping set up and cheer-on a 5K race was not a good idea. You've had some ibuprophen and the feet are now propped up, you can stop hurting anytime now.

    In my neck of the woods I don't see that happening for a looooong time. I found a property manager so I can go do other stuff. This downturn is hurting everyone but hurts the "entry level" market most. The "entry level" in real estate is a single family home.

    I don't want to be a downer but until we have jobs to create demand for housing and reduce inventory I don't see that changing.

    And even if someone wants to buy my newly remodeled by a designer (me) energy efficient bike commuters dream condo I'm constantly and drastically undercut by repos, short sales and foreclosures.

    But if anyone here wants to rent in the East Bay, ask me.

    To whom it may concern
    THANK YOU
    The weather today was phenomenal for our 10th 100 kilometer permanent of the year.
    We got just enough rain to remind ourselves that it IS the rainy season, and enough sun to put smiles on everyone's faces. Thanks for good company nice roads and generally tolerant motorists and dogs too lazy to run far. (and cute horses, llamas, cows, goats, sheep, and a few hawks)

    Dear Me,

    Whatever in this world made you think you could exist on this planet without a motorcycle? Yes the scooter is fun, but it's not a BIKE. So, time to dive into the search for a replacement... lets just hope honey gets a good job.

    Now, don't be stupid like this again, you need a motorcycle like other people need air. Live with it.

    Signed,

    Disappointed in me
