Today I nurse-walked to the church. I left at 10:31 and arrived at 10:41. But ten years ago, I could do it just walking. Thirteen minutes to walk to church this morning. I was surprised that the return trip was only seventeen minutes; I had stopped to take notes on a bicycle that was leaning against a chain-link fence. I saw a cable lock looped around a handlebar, and wondered why the rider hadn't used it. On closer inspection, it was looped through two wires of the fence -- just one yard from a nice solid post. Then, while measuring the distance, I noticed that the lock wasn't secured to the bike, just looped around the handlebar. I was sorely tempted to lift the cable over the cup holder, but, being a civilized person, I did not touch anything. -- joy beeson at centurylink dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGESEW/ The above message is a Usenet post. |
