Bicycle

I've been riding my bicycle to work. It's only an eight mile ride (16 round trip,) so it's not bad. At first it was unpleasant but after you a little excercise and the record heat wave subsides it becomes real pleasant.

I leanered some new things because of this. For starters, I learned that Wednesday is garbage day, and that there is actually a wide variety of smells that garbage can give off, all unpleasant. I learned that it is permissable to park a bicycle in an office. I learned I learned that it is harder to ride a bicycle on soft grass than rocky gravel, that is, until you fall off. I also learned that some roads are bidirectionally downhill (or uphill.) I also, learned that it is in fact possible for me to lose weight without getting a haicut. I even learned that if I'm more than an hour late in getting home, my mom will go out looking for me and that I should call before visiting the library on the way home.

I didn't ride my bike yesterday. I hitched a ride here with my mom and was forced ride home with Bennett Ellis (my boss.) Like a lot of employes where I work, he's a Christendom grad. He's from back in the early 90's. Appearantly, the attic of Caeli used to be the old 'student center.' Then they walled in the pavilion but that didn't work. This is why the faculty was so intent on making the new one so nice. Hm. I didn't know that before.

Anyway, I'll ride my bicycle home from now on so I can avoid such epiphanies in the future. Well, just kidding.

God Bless.

'List of things I learned while riding a bicycle.'

That was too funny. I love it. We sometimes ride (for fun) a 9 mile trail to downtown, and eat in the park. You learn many things on a bicycle that normally get passed by.
