Really amazing ride this evening. Going around the Tampa coastilne of the bay, exploring new routes, I ran into a carnival setting up at dusk on the water, lights going on, carnies everywhere, things half up and disarray. And the moon and Venus and Jupiter over the ocean as the sunset was stunning. Here's an odd angle;


What do you think happened next?

WHEEEEEEE!!!

Took a ton of photos as I went along. I'll post any that turned out not shit.


That's a really cool composition!  Mysterious. It looks like it could be the cover of a suspense novel or something.

The grease stain on my left calve from the chain appears to be permanent. Is there a name for that. If there isn't, I'm calling it... The schmeckel (is that already a thing?)

The chainring tattoo.

Incidentally a schmeckel is Yiddish for penis.

I learned a lot of Hebrew in my travels, but no Yidish, just words like "schlep" and "smuck" and "chutzpah" and "goy". Why was everyone yelling "GOY" at me all the time at the kibbutz?

Had to learn more street Russian than Hebrew to get by.

Why am I in the mood for some Dr. Zoidberg now?
