Fox Is Either Stupid Or Evil

Long Time

Where has the time gone? The summer slips by fast.

Thursday has become the unofficial Biking for Beers night. I set out for a 7 mile ride into Goshen via the Pumpkin Vine Trail and end up at Constant Spring. As luck would have it, I've found a hipster who enjoys doing the same. Just don't tell her I called her a hipster. Below shows us stopped along the trail, around midnight, with the glow of happiness that comes from night biking. (Truth be told- there's a bit of beer and sweat coming through. We did just leave a bar with microbrews and it is a typical humid summer in Indiana)



There have only been two incidents with the Biking for Beers night. One involved a 30 minute ride lasting 2 hours. The other involved me picking asphalt out of a toe abrasion. The latter incident confirms what we already suspected: I'd be a great surgeon.

More bike related plaque- A friend invited me up to Michigan for some mountain biking at a place called Fort Custer . I have read about this place but this was my first go at it. Being of moderate ability proved no match for the trail system. I was beat up one side and down the other. But it was also the best dayum trail system I have ever been on.



Now I'd like to present you with the funniest Craigslist ad ever: 2001 Ford Taurus Check it soon, it will not be listed for long.

Hot enough for ya? Some Chillwave in the form of Onra "The One"

I'm out.

Bike the Drive

A couple of nice days in the city- one day biking to and from watering holes and a few favorite spots, the other spent riding the Bike the Drive event which closes Lake Shore Drive to all motorized traffic. I was the only brave soul (or moronic individual) out of about 20,000 riding in the 30 mile BTD event with a fixed gear. Below images are from along the way. None of which are my sore parts, so it's safe for work.

Local News

75% oppose? Holy cow. Shooting in the streets by Wednesday? Maybe.


From a local report of the Health Care debate:

Sunday Congressional candidate Jackie Walorski held a viewing party for Michiana republicans. Walorski says the current health care bill is the wrong choice for Hoosiers.

"This bill is catastrophic for Indiana's economy it's catastrophic for the nation. I believe that's why 75% of people don't want it. We're probably looking at 20 years to repel this bill it'll never happen in one session when you have a president who will never support it," said Congressional Candidate Jackie Walorski.

Walorski is running against incumbent Congressman Joe Donnelly.

"If this does pass there's a good chance there might be shooting in the streets on Wednesday. The overreaching nature of this bill are going to drive a lot of people over their tipping points," said Republican Myer Blatt. (From the scene of viewing party for Michiana republicans)
