Where the dogs are properly on their respective leashes and squirrels
are up in the trees, away from buses, trucks and bat-wielding
rednecks.

Start here:
http://www.bikely.com/

fill in the field next to "Find a route near" and hit "Search".

There are other such sites, such as:

Inside a posh shopping mall patrolled by half-hearted &
jaded-by-life security personnel wearing those yellow
jackets supplied by the temp labour agency from whence
they come, and customed by little old ladies in fur coats.

The best reason/destination for bicycling is to pick up
your paycheque.

Among the worst locations are underground parking lots.
<cough, cough>

But above-ground multi-level parking lots can be good.
Especially when going from top to bottom, and squeezing
past/shooting through the end of the ticket kiosk gate
when it's down.

I guess that'll do. But I was picturing that swanky one
with the slippery marble/porphyry floor and indoor fountain,
in West Van.

I don't wanna diss Oakridge just yet. They've got a
Godiva's Chocolate in there. And then there's
Murchie's Tea. Those are Oakridge's only redeeming
qualities.

Period.

Can't nuke Sodom & Gommorah when there's a couple of
righteous people living in there, either.

Even if there's a strong temptation to.


cheers,
Tom

Buh-bye.


In the meantime, I suggest you try to grow a heart.
It might do ya some good. Even if it does turn
you into a Liberal -- or worse yet, a Yes <Steve
Howe/Jon Anderson/Chris Squire, et al[*]> fan.


"C'mon people now,
smile on your brother,
Everybody get together,
Try 'n love one another
Right Now."


Take good care of yourselves, everybody!

I love you all, and you're all wonderful
and beautiful!

Watch out for those goatheads.



cheers,
Tom

Chris Squire's "Fish Out of Water" is lovely, too.

Don't let Roger Waters' moodiness get you down.
He's just off in his own space.

It'll all work out good.

It always does.

Grow that heart and feel food and love people.

Now that's just not true. The audience might be a tad more select than
one would like, true.

> So, aDios amigo. My welcome is worn out here.

Not in my opinion, but don't hang on and get your hat bent on all out of
shape. On the other hand, please don't say goodbye forever. Maybe take
a bit of a layoff though.

There usually is, though there seem to be a few decent new posters.
Anyway, don't you know that USENET is dead?

I purely will. And if I don't see you in rbm, I'll try and look you up
in September. I'm planning on swinging up Vancouver way with my brother
later this year.

Chris Squire? He's in my bike club! Of course, so is Jonathan Page.

USENET ain't dead. It just smells funny.

I find that fewer outright fools use USENET than, oh, web-based forums.
The USENET die-hards are my preferred company on the interblag.

When I read the USENET FAQ off a CD before getting a modem it was a
bit scary but they sounded like my kinda people.

Posts to those web-based forums have drool stains.

Is that what the smell was behind the radiator? I thought the cat had
detonated.

I've found a few fora that are decent. A telling sign is limited or no
signatures, small or no avatars, and people who will correct poor
grammar. If they are at least loosely moderated, that's a huge help.

Having committed the multiple sins of communicating with a
certain arbm character (& his favourite sock puppet,)
arguing with a certain bike lights "expert", and realizing
that I not only understand what Datakoll says, but also
agree with it, and probably dissing a lot of people who
drive cars, I figure it's time to bow out. Maybe make
an effort to regain some level of sanity in the meantime.
Or not.

Talking about stuff like riding bike just unnecessarily
complicates it. Ya get on the bike and go -- what's so
hard about that, that it needs to be discussed to death?

All the real problems of cycling have been adressed,
and solutions proffered. There's really nothing left
to say, except to express opinions about people who
ride fixies/recumbents/antiques, and uttering the
word: "poser." And all that's in the archives. The
rest is comiseration about how "hard" it can sometimes
be to ride amongst motorized traffic or in inclement
weather, and lashing-out in the drivers' crossposts.
If anyone has probs making Sora work with DuraAce, there's
rbt to take care of that.

That'd be wonderful. Expect to gain a little extra
(temporary) weight. Especially when we hit the Greek
section of West Broadway, where you can buy olives by
the barrelful.

Those plastic barrels are great for storing flour in, BTW.
They also make good outboard pontoons for your sea-going kayak.
Some designer knew what he/she was doing.


cheers, & I'm not even Greek (as far as I know,)

That would actually put you as a Reformative,
like the current Federal Gov't.

But then you'd have to put on a hair jersey as a
fundamentalist's penance for feeling good about
something-or-other, and demand harsh penalties for
such as Jean Valjean.

I've smoked stuff that's made my face feel like it
was on too tight. Never stopped me from grinning,
though.
