    A causal dumping ground

    Say you’ve got a bunch of garbage to get rid of; why not just throw it on the side of the bike path! Some people have no class. There is an old video game behind all of the above trash.

    Line of the moment

    From Thomas Sowell

    “Intellectuals’ ability to think of people in the abstract is a dangerous talent in a world where people differ in all the ways that make them people.”

    The open mic night went well

    I was quite pleased with my performance and the response. It’s reassuring to hear yourself through the monitors. I did “Raining Here This Morning”, “Red Clay Halo”, “Walkin’ Cane”, and “Blackjack County Chain”. I could have slowed them all down a tad, but on the whole, I’m pretty happy. A good first real open mic night.

    Pecked to death by ducks

    This would seem to be the month of work-related stress, aggravation and rage.

    Failing to plan is planning to fail.

    Why are people allergic to details?

    Yet another gallery


    My black and white phase continues with my visit to the Oakhurst Earth Day celebration. It was dark and I forgot the new monopod, so the photos turned out a bit grainy. I decided to accentuate the grainyness in most of the photos via photoshop.

    Check out the new gallery.

    The long ride

    Yesterday, for no particular reason, I decided to go on a long bike ride. I originally wanted to just see where Ponce de Leon Road ended, but the countryside was so pleasant and the roads to bikeable that I decided to set a personal record. I wound up going 25 miles out to Conyers on a very pleasant day. My total mileage was 50.5 miles, in about three and a half hours. Surprisingly I’m not that tired today.

    On the way to Conyers, I passed through Lithonia, which contains a store containing some form of Christian/Voodoo items (from what I could tell). The images below are of the front window of the store.
