Vera



A couple inches accumulated snowfall tonight

I'll believe that when I see it.

I can believe there will be snowfall. Just looking outside right now at the gloomy, bone-chilling rain falling, heavy wind, 38 degrees Fahrenheit, not hard to believe.

Now I see it. Just as I was about to make this post, I can see heavy, wet snowflakes falling outside my patio window here.

Would be an excellent day to get out and sit in a coffee shop. If I still consumed coffee. I quit years ago.

Hopefully I can get in a few more bicycle rides before I chicken out about the icy sidewalks and bike paths and put the bicycle away for winter.

Not really much point tempting fate, pushing my luck with your Monkey-God.

God Is Ignorance. Because *you're* too much of a DIM-WIT to think of anything else.

I have written several times about those two bicycle crashes I had a few years ago. The first was on 12/23/2001 which left my shoulder injured for a few weeks afterwards.

One minute I was riding along, the next minute I was looking at my feet as I went sliding across the road.

the former president arrives here Wednesday to autograph copies of his book, his first scheduled stop will be the discount retail warehouse Costco in Issaquah.

[When I just read something Bill Clinton read about not wanting to "pile on" to Cheney's shooting incident, I remembered this. The day I went back to Microsoft to ask for my job back, he was at this Costco, which I could see from the window at my cube. I thought that was quite the coincidence, and I hoped it was a good sign, albeit something extraordinary that defied my logic. I remember now too that it was on the other side of the street from that Costco where I went face first into the concrete after my bike slipped on a slick bridge. I had a black eye for a week. I still remember the date for some reason: Feb 1, 2002. I think I remembered it because I had another accident on Dec. 23, 2001, when I was biking around Lake Washington. At the 30 mile point of that 60 mile trip, I hit a patch of ice and went down hard and fast. One minute I was riding along, the next minute I was looking at my feet as I went sliding across the road. Damn that hurt. I dislocated my shoulder because my elbow hit first or right about the same time as my knee. I could barely raise my arm if at all for weeks after that. It was pretty uncomfortable riding the remaining 30 miles back home. And the whole way there and for a time afterwards, I could almost hear something, it was unusal, the way you can feel like there is something on your tongue as that saying goes, but with this, I could almost hear a "thud" sound for a while after, the sound of me hitting the ground.
