Friday was Mr. Poe’s birthday and that’s taken up a lot of time. Mr. Poe celebrates his birthday for many weeks both before and after and it’s a pretty huge affair. He’s looking to cancel Halloween so he can drag it out until Thanksgiving. Stay tuned.
Monday I led a Different Spokes ride out to Tiburon. I’d been contacted by some guys from Sydney who were going to be in town and wanted to ride so I put a ride on the calendar for them and we all had a lot of fun. The weather was crazy foggy at the bridge but we had nice weather in Marin and it was nice riding. I’ve been so lazy on my bike for the last couple of months and it’s gotta stop because I’m getting seriously out of shape. Ah well, I like a challenge. Here’s Nancy in Tiburon:
We saw these pieces of shit passing out leaflets in Tiburon. At first I thought they were republicans but it turns out that they were democrats. Democrats who put Hitler mustaches on Obama’s face and insist he’s gonna start world war 3. The fuck??? They were telling us how we need to impeach Obama and make Hillary Clinton president and I found that hilarious because I don’t think she’d run her presidency materially differently from Obama given the same conditions. Obnoxious, unfair and inflammatory. If they were republicans I wouldn’t like it but I’d understand. What these assholes are doing defies logic. Although I totally agree that the weakening of the Glass Steagall Act in the 90′s was a big mistake and it needs to be restored:
We rode Paradise loop and headed towards the bridge. We went through Fort Baker and enjoyed the jaw dropping view of the bridge. Here are Nancy, Rob and Bruce enjoying it:
I took Bruce and Rob over to their hotel and then hung out with Miss Smith for a while and then went home for dinner. We had Big Lantern delivered and I had Hong Kong noodle which I liked but didn’t love. I got cleaned up and watched TV. I had a hard time getting to sleep.
