men on bikes

08/01/11 10:04

Had lunch Friday with Drew and Gary. It had been a while, so we had a lot to catch up on: the headmaster scandal at Pine Crest, books, movies, TV shows (a mention of Curb Your Enthusiasm led into a discussion on the difference between "argumentative" and "disputatious"), restaurants. Gary had recently eaten at a good Iranian restaurant but couldn't remember the name. "Burqa King?" Drew asked.

The only sport we talked about was cycling, as Gary and Drew had both followed the Tour de France. I mentioned my favorite photos of the Tour (by Robert Capa, though I mistakenly attributed them to Cartier-Bresson), which don't include a single bicycle. The first shows a group of people standing on a sidewalk in a small French town, all looking to their right; the second shows the same people, all looking to their left.

I told them about my ride last weekend, during which I stopped and asked a woman if she had the time. "You went for a bike ride without your cell phone?" Gary asked. "How are you going to call 911 when somebody hits you?"

Drew said that he was getting into biking despite his theory (which he was working on for his comedy routine). "When you see a child on a bike you think: 'That's cute.' When you see an older woman on a bike you think: 'Good for her.' When you see a middle-aged man on a bike you think: 'DUI.'"

…and when you see Aly on her bike, you yell “Find a better place to ride!” and then she curses at you. And then you realize that YOU’RE IN CENTRAL ARKANSAS, THE LEAST BIKE FRIENDLY PLACE ON THE PLANET.

…steam comes out ears…

It’s a tree-stump topic for me these days.

Not Fake

How it Used to Be - In the existing days, getting approved for the car loans once
you use a low credit rating is like pulling teeth from a Tiger
Not Fake you can do your case not good by lying around the credit application -after all with the end
from the day its you who will have to generate the repayments and failing to accomplish
so will just ruin your credit history.

a well-known blogger if you happen to aren’t already.
