chapter 72: the skunk


I saw a skunk on the drive home last night.

skunks smell bad. no matter how thoughtful, or introspective, or well written a skunk may be, they still stink. Just because you know you're a skunk, doesn't mean it's okay to spray your stench all over people for no reason. That's just not very nice. Not that there is anything wrong with being a skunk at the core. Just don't use that as an excuse to spread your stench.

Spot Paul likes the smell of skunks. I do not. Maybe that's how you purify yourself. Me, I just don't eat for a week, and I make myself suffer.

engines need fuel to run. I have not had a whole lot of fuel this week. My tank was definitely on empty tonight. To make a bad situation worse, it was my first ride on a geared mountain bike in 4 years. Really, I couldn't figure out the shifters, that and the position on that bike is clearly not geared in yet.

E-town, Rob (ntntamfmb20), John (todd of bike line), Jaime (wfeorc), and TedLogic kept me moving along. That was pretty cool. Tedlogic was riding very well. Thankfully, E-town's freewheel froze or died about an hour in, and mercifully, I headed in with him.
