beautiful day

Today is one of those days. It is warm, there is a slight breeze, the sky is blue with a few high clouds. It feels like early summer. I feel lazy on days like this, this is a 'play hooky' day. I don't know what I'll do today but it will involve a bike.

memorials

One thing I see everyday are memorials. It seems to be a way for a public display of  the grief  and loss that someone has when someone significant in your life is taken unexpectedly. I always wonder about the backstory, and here is the story about one such memorial. In the cycling community we have a way that is common in many cities, the solitary white bike chained to a street light post, a memorial to a cyclist killed by a motorist. Read the story.

animal intelect

I found this in one of my circles on Google+, it is so good....

An elephant plays with a Samsung Galaxy Tablet.... watch the joy the elephant shows when it does something. An intelligent creature indeed.

transformation

I keep hearing a bunch of crap from the conservative side of the political spectrum about socialism and Agenda 21 and all their other phobias about how Obama wants to 'Europeanize' this country. Here is one way that this country can transform, and the Dutch changed when they realized that they did not want to be dependent on oil. We can make this country better, even if a large number of conservatives want to hide under their tin foil hats.

Watch this video... think about the cities near you.
