I have a foam sword and its pretty much the greatest thing ever
Well, until today. Tonight I took off the basket and riser bar and replaced them with a simple bullhorn and removed my rear fender. I have been rocking the sword for weeks now. Its great deterrent to stumbling drunk tourists in the middle of the street and really nice for spanking! The basket shall soon … Continue reading I have a foam sword and its pretty much the greatest thing ever
The Soilder Ride
A large group of cyclists from the Soldier Ride passed through Key West a few weeks ago.

Tomas dropped by the other day with a major chain problem and a bleeding thumb that prolly needed minor surgery.

Snowballs in Key West
I took this a few weeks ago while waiting for lunch at Sandy's on White street. There were a few posts I wanted to keep at the top so I never put this one up.

Ok, mother nature, we need to talk. First, it is Monday and quite sunny. Thank you. We all needed some sunshine! But i must digress, or be distressed, or just pissed about the weather yesterday.

Winter Rain Blues
I took this yesterday. A sunny day. It was actually warm. No socks. Shorts. And sundresses! Although I have been complaining, bitching and generally bemoaning the colder weather, I will admit I have enjoyed the novelty of wearing a scarf and socks; and not just any socks, my Smartwool argyles! I guess i enjoy the … Continue reading Winter Rain Blues
