Yippee! I'm free!

Went for a ride up just for something to do. I was actually
heading toward the Harry Jerome Sports Centre in Burnaby, BC.
While I was grunting it up the Barnet Hwy I spotted a strange
sort of glint from among the roadside litter. I stopped and
had a closer look. It was a $20 bill, slightly faded from
the sunlight, but in otherwise good condition. I quickly
scooped it, and continued on for awhile until I thought:
"Waidaminnit!" So I doubled back and looked around for
more bills, but there weren't any.

Somewhere along the homebound leg, my cycloputer head fell
off without my noticing. Free at last! I'm saving the
Yanking Off Of The Wiring Harness for a little later, when
I can truly savour the experience. The $20 is /not/ going
toward a new computer.

Ya win some; ya lose some. Sometimes you can even win
by losing.


cheers,
Tom

Not since I realized I had become addicted to it,
and had been scrupulously journalizing all my
rides -- numbers 'n all. Screw a bunch of numbers.
