And today I come bearing photographic evidence of the unexpected urban ungulates:
Behold!
The zoomed-in pictures kind of suck because I had to use my digital zoom which means the image quality suffers. But. Goats!
I created a set and called it Goatography. I hope to get some better shots another day.

This morning was shaping up to suck outrageously. I was about halfway to work, and my back tire blew out. 2″ long rip in one sidewall; you could see daylight all the way through. I tried to boot it with one of those extra-big patches from one of my patch kits, but [...]

This week has been gorgeous in the weather department. Gorgeous for December anyhow. I’ve ridden on my lunch break or extra after work every day so far, and I plan to do the same tomorrow. Being as it has been basically cold and shitty the previous couple of weeks, I had been racking up a [...]

When I go to Joel’s house, I frequently take this strange little bike/pedestrian bridge across the Kaw River. It’s a great little cut-across which eliminates a pretty nasty convergence of two interstate ramps and three surface streets. It’s also got some nifty artwork on it.

1. Lore Sjöberg’s how-to article on having a Livejournal blog. You may remember Sjöberg from The Brunching Shuttlecocks, or from his current site, Bad Gods and/or Slumbering Lungfish.
2. As you may know, I went and got a degree in Medieval Studies almost 8 years ago, and I’ve finally recovered enough from my MA [...]

I was going through my old photo album for an upcoming entry, and discovered a magazine clipping I had saved when I was a kid. The copyright is 1986, which means I was 9 when I cut this thing out. Back then I was entranced with anything that seemed “old-fashioned” so I really [...]

I will admit that I am a regular viewer of my own website’s statistics, ESPECIALLY the search engine terms. Most of them are either pervalicious or statistically improbably. In the past week, for instance, we have “cat kicking head,” “i like swirly in toilet sensual” and “why is the left sie (sic) of [...]

The New Orleans writeups are going to be posted probably Friday or Saturday. Instead, why don’t we re-visit Halloween with a couple of videos from the costumed cyclocross race.
Part one–the takeoff.
Part 2–Nearing the finish. You get a great view of the walker in this shot.
Part 3–Afterwards. Quote: “That was a little hairy! [...]

I know I have touched upon how fond I am of performing feats of interior demolition (very). In “real life” I was regaling my friend Jared with a frenzied monologue on the team of tearin’ some shit up, and he got all wide-eyed and bouncy as he does when he has some really [...]
