...aka Thoughts While Returning Home By Bike, June 6, 2007:
...I'll have to purify that tomorrow morning, and set up those two reactions so I can couple them onto monomers to include in the paper (editor's note: workspeak)...
hm, car just pulled into left-hand turn lane of the slow traffic light
if I hurry I can follow it and not have to blow through the red arrow/solid green like I usually do
it's a little far
maybe this is a chance to practice "sprinting", I could stand on the pedals and fly, yeah, I should hurry, don't want to miss the light
here goes
I said, here goes
ohmygod that's it how pathetic
I guess I'm going faster
oh, the light still hasn't changed
slowing down
dawdle, dawdle, dawdle
that's right, spin through the intersection behind the minivan like it's slow and I'm fast
minivan found the gas pedal, bye-bye
what the hell's up with the headwind? ouch...and don't tell me my legs are unhappy because of that measly little effort to get to the light
runty runner legs
oh great, oncoming traffic is already getting its advance left turn at the super-super slow traffic light
oh great, I'd better "sprint" again to reach the light
here goes
well I'm turning over faster
geez, I'm weaving like a drunk
oh look and I'm in my small chain ring
light's changed to green
and I probably should be in the drops and not hanging out on the hoods, negative style points
almost reached last bumper
I'll get through
bastard SUV trying to turn right on red had better watch it
cross traffic is getting to watch the most melodramatic awkward "sprint" ever, this is embarassing
that was ugly and yes my legs are hurting from their "efforts"
stupid runty runner legs
f$%* it, I'll spin at 10mph 'til 'cross season, then it's muddy and I'll have more excuses for being slow
And a photo for those who read this far:

i like the pretty orange coupled monomers
did you take that photo? it's so purty! my sunflowers are just starting to bloom.
cross season is almost here, kinda.
Only a scientist would be that detailed about an intersection and able to break it down that much. By the way, what was the time frame on that incident, 10 seconds, maybe 20. Bye Russell
Thanks for the photo.
gey
L: I can take photo credit. Vernon, BC, Canada, August 2003, digital point-and-shoot. I like the pics with the bees on the flowers.
bb: 10-20 sec of leglessness is all I had to write about right then.
dp: the photo was the least I could do after providing the drivel above.
oV: hey kettle...
