I wish i had an emoticon for : blink

An emoticon for :blink: would be a handy thing - nothing free in the land of the free, no country for old men - Just occurs to me I could explain/write my whole life in movie titles & movie dialogue -
damn - - - S-T-E-L-L-A !

I'll either die on my bike or end up babbling down by the river.

cold and wet day in paradise
got to put on
thermal underwear

dressing for success
stressing clock changes
losing time on savings time
not a good day for a bike read
in shorts and a tee shirt
ride the need to
momentum
I need to ride it
riding to live

Gets no argument from me - ain't been out all winter - couple of weeks ago it got real warm up here up into the 60's and even 70 so I did get out on those days but it has gone arctic again the past week - 3 degrees above zero this morning before dawn and only 12 degrees now - damn.

really dig this thread

I'm glad, Jack. Me too. I discovered this form some months ago have had a ball with it ever since. Freeing. No set pattern or subject. Been looking for something like this my whole writing life, I think. Found it.

Hope you continue to enjoy.

That hits the nail right there ! Thx, Jack. I just loves me some low maintenance literature. Or low maintenance anything truth be told.

Even if love is king a man must eat. Cut-and-paste, look to the sky. The questions ain't new, just hurried. We always miss the simple fit. You would think we prefer fear talk to righteousness.

I went to school. I wasn't shaped by it. They taught me to read.
It was the most subversive thing that could have happened.
I've been thankful ever since.

When I was a boy watching TV with my parents there was this scene in a movie we were watching where this woman in a evening gown put on elbow length gloves while talking on the phone. The excited state that overcame me was like a Japanese tsunami. I did not know what to do with it. It took every ounce of will I had to keep from jumping up and exclaiming to my parents, "Look at that ! LOOK AT THAT !

Ha! sometimes I just like to tap keys - - socked in by a snowstorm been going on 2 days and all night last night - damn 3:35 in the p.m. and still snowing - three feet of snow outside this morning I had to shovel a path first to get to the driveway and then begin shoveling the driveway - I love Yew Nork ! Bring on the wooly mammoths ! Damn if it ain't springtime in the Promised Land. My bikes ain't seen daylight since the last dodo bird walked the earth - eating me up -

Saw a pic of Melania & husband earlier today. Ya know, everytime I see her she strikes me as some kind of creature the forest & hills dreamed up, always on station, always on watch the same way a nuclear submarine is. I can, without a moment's provocation, see her wearing wolf skins & laughing at the threats of Attila the Hun.

Sha-bop Sha-bop ~

Man, the wind is blowing Winter needs its balls busted bad -

Perfect bike weather today, made a 20 mile shopping and errands ride to downtown new berlin,
I could not survive another yankee winter
what's that interstate than runs up to Canada runs through Platsburgh I think

one trip it was freezing rain, after hail, after snow
and me with both cheeks gripping the seat cushion

[the mingo]

what's that interstate than runs up to Canada runs through Platsburgh I think

That's I-87, east of the mountains, the one west of the mountains is I-81 - they call them Adirondack Northways the both of them. I-81 runs the eastern edge of Tug Hill, one of its entrance/exit ramps bout two miles east of where I'm sitting in my camp on the Little Salmon River. Sometimes out on the bike I'll take a road got an overpass on I-81 and sit there watching that traffic go rushing both ways beneath me -

don't matter who is sitting in the White House then or who is Prime Minister of Canada or what bird might be shitting in the woods what color or if Bernie Sanders is eating eggs-over-easy in his $650,000 house on the eastern shore of Lake Champlain -
