Morning.

Got lots of raking leaves and picking up debris from the crazy weather earlier this week. Don't forget to turn your clocks back this weekend.

Good morning.

Crashed on a rocky descent because of a stupid horse owner who waved me past so he could take his time, then couldn't control his horse. I love horses. I'm learning to hate people.

Sometimes my high pain tolerance is a burden. I figured I'd just "tweaked" something but the MRI revealed a tear in the disc between L2&3 and a bulge between L3&4 of my lower back. WTF? To make that worse, my new frame arrived the other day.

Morning Monkeys.

The sun is out and while wet, it looks like it might be a nice day. Haven't looked at the weekend forecast, but those are 50/50 anyway.

Sorry about the back, heal up.

We require deets on the new frame.

Dayum. Good luck with the back. Find a good spine doc if you don't already have one. I had a complex herniation back in July... got surgery in August - feeling pretty good but rehab is ongoing and pretty slow...

Baby woke up early. I'm tired. At work with my ridiculously far right colleagues trying to catch me in something to froth around for a while. I managed to hold them off with a simple question: "why has Rmoney not answered a single press question in 22 days?" I'm letting them chew on that for a while.

No other plans than to try and make some money today.

Rode into the office today after several Hurricane-related WFH days. Rode past the blocks-long lines of people waiting for shuttle buses between BK and Manhattan, over the Brooklyn Bridge which was somewhat orderly with pedestrians and cyclists, through still-powerless lower Manhattan where the streets were relatively clear and almost all intersections had cops directing traffic. Hit the Terminal Power Point around 23rd Street where traffic lights were working again. Grabbed a coffee and donut being handed out to cyclists by Transportation Alternatives. By 34th, it felt like regular old crowded Manhattan, nearly doored twice, cellphone zombies wandering into the street, etc. Got to work in 1/2 hr, which is less time that it takes by subway. That crane still dangles flaccidly from the side of the zillion dollar apartment hi-rise, like a blind guy in the woman's unmentionables section of JC Penny.

Reminded me a lot of the days after 9/11 -- just a different stench in the air.

Sounds good Andrew I am getting ready to bike to work Monday as we should have power by then. Crazy all the people waiting for the bus when they could just walk over the bridge.

Yah, seems weird too me that people wouldn't grab a bike and would rather sit in traffic for hours. I live in a different world though so my crazy ideas don't make sense to everyone. :)

Going to be able to get out for ski season? We need someone to supply us pics of blower days at steamboat and elsewhere out west, for us on the east coast.

This is the city where they have crazy people have tried to sue the city because they put in bike lane. It right here where I live and its been brilliant both for bikers and to slow down speeding cars:

Also the walk from where they take the buses is amazing going over the Brooklyn Bridge. Well Heidi I am the crazy Euro who grew up riding my bike or taking public transportation so I am with you.
