Just for fun...

we used to have the"tour Dupont" here till the local resort claimed it cost them too much money,sidenote it has changed hands 2or 3 times since then and and unlike their sister resort( the "Greenbrier" they have pretty much dismantled most of the historic and period things that used to make them unique,its home county used to be reckoned as the poorest in the state, with absolutely no middle class with millionaires abounding a stable population of around 5000 for most of its history now heading toward 4000(probably be there in ten years or less) the trend is the super wealthy snap up all the available real estate and usually quickly raze all the old houses the poor folks used to live in.

A friend Colline, last week said that I do not look like a bike mechanic, she was married to one. I had an new Carhart gingham shirt while loading her bike. I will need to smell like a day-old bong hit to get cred. And have made that progress on that so far. I rub myself with old bong water each morning.
Just joking.
In real life I have been upping my game by using a very clean cut with nicer clothes approach when selling up to $14,000 bikes. And to attract Heather, the most overall, attractive person that I have ever seen. I have personally boycotted the entire used wife market for over a decade on sheer principle and will, but she is an exceptional exception. Principle and will are broken. She knows a bunch of my trusted friends and looks and walks and talks like family. Until this week I had no idea and then she awoke something in me. Wow! When I went to pat her dog Oliver he barked, and she said 'He has never be around a man'. He warmed up to me quickly. I want to give her an eBike to use for the next month that is lovely with a classic look, Dutch position, IGH, red, and decorated for the Holiday Bike Parade.
To gain more legitimacy as a bike mechanic I am changing my look. I am getting pierced ears with huge black stones that stretch my lobes, a nose ring, and a tat of Bugs Bunny on my neck.
 
This is Whitby, I visit often, its very goth all year round, mainly because its derelict Abby was the inspiration for Dracula.
They have a huge goth meet, though it seems a bit more steampunky halloween to me..
Really enjoyed that! What ebikes do goths prefer?

The Mexican holiday Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) — also celebrated in early November, and hugely popular in San Diego — seems to speak to the same human need.

This guy's a talented documentary maker. Here's another good one of his. Worth going to YouTube to watch.


My two favorite unfortunate place names in Colorado are "Poison Creek Reservoir" and "Faultline Dam". Have found nothing of that caliber in California so far, but I'm sure they're out there.
