You're in the Regular category. But the Non-Stop category means you cannot stop. You must keep moving, or at least not put your foot down. Even if you have to weave back and forth or ride in tiny circles. Now you know.<br /><br />Since you have a very popular bike commuting blog, I can see how the police on bikes might think you had something to do with those hills.ultrarunnergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12509015436909032553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655972254756722998.post-41071777903340499432012-06-11T21:47:44.765-04:002012-06-11T21:47:44.765-04:00I'm not sure which one I call my "Home St...I'm not sure which one I call my "Home Stews", probably Danbury since it is so close to Kates family in Brookfield. <br /><br />I just like the robot animals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655972254756722998.post-33431839274392341702012-06-11T21:19:39.572-04:002012-06-11T21:19:39.572-04:00"(unless you're a blimp commuter.

Let me tell you, it's not as placid as it seems. In the winter, snow and ice accumulate on the top of the of the envelope and you're just blimping around minding your own beeswax when all of a sudden, the top of the airship which is heavy rotates around to become the bottom of the airship and your blimp is upside down and unless you're clipped in it's not a funny thing at all, it's like an inverse vertical trackstand and even though you're supposed to say "I meant to do that" it never gets a laugh not a single one. Sorry to open such a deep vein but nobody respects a blimp commuter.

I travel the same roads at about the same time daily. Drivers that also travel that route see me, and over time I think they come to expect me. That seems to make then a little more careful. My first commute was hairy. Now it's much less hairy. Too bad it wasn't like me; no hair at all!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11041761402729125881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655972254756722998.post-80283042215353992372012-06-11T20:25:51.328-04:002012-06-11T20:25:51.328-04:00+! for Stew Leonard's mention.
Just never for...+! for Stew Leonard's mention.<br /><br />Just never forget what you need, or you'll need to salmon back to get it. Which may also cause stewing (and doubly so if you are buying stew ingredients)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
