Dazed And Confused
Ok, ok, so i don't feel any internal pressure to blog - is that not a good thing? Anyway, for all my fans out there, blowing the breeze my way, keeping things cool and real, i will venture to type something today.
Today has been marked. This will serve to remember it. Today i was involved in a motor vehicle accident. Evidently i am still alive. I was not operating a motor vehicle, i was not a passenger. I was on a bicycle. A car pulled in front of me without leaving enough stopping distance, nor pulling into the parking zone. Some people believe that the cycle lane is merely an extension of the parking space. Others don't understand that even a cycle needs some distance to come to a complete stop. I feel aggravated that my cycle is trashed, and that i will probably have to pay for repairs or a new cycle. I refuse to operate a motor vehicle for the small distances i travel - it is completely unnecessary. I think it is ridiculous that numerous people use their motor vehicles to the extent that they do within cities, for what little convenience (then bitch about parking) - i wonder what they will do when the world. or commercial market, runs out of petroleum. Most of them will probably cycle. Hah.
