...even when it comes to transportation. Actually, scratch that. Given my oft-indulged shoe habit, especially when it comes to transportation.
I'm not sure I ever really had this as a specific thought until today. I mean, I know exactly how picky I am about cars. That is to say that I'm so picky that there are only a small handful of cars that I would ever spend money on, and even if money were no object, my favorite would always be the least expensive of the bunch. And I already own two of those--specifically, the 1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata--but only if it lacks power-steering. A Miata with power-steering is a horrible thing.
Anyway, on Friday night while out with friends, our conversation turned to bikes. Bicycles, that is. Road bikes, specifically. We were standing in front of a bar and looking at a fixie locked to a rack on the sidewalk. I mentioned to one of them that I was thinking about getting another bike, because he has a friend who owns a bike shop. And then I immediately had thoughts of the bicycle dutifully chained up on my porch.
She's a Schwinn Breeze from the early-70's in Campus Green. Her name is Anabelle. She needs a little clean-up, but I think she's gorgeous.
Today I was thinking about her again, and wishing the weather was a little less damp so I could take her out for a ride. Also wishing that I didn't have tension knots in my shoulders and back that were triggering massive headaches. So, instead of going for a ride, I consoled myself with snapping a few pictures...
