Bike the Drive

This past weekend I took the Dahon folder on Amtrak to Chicago for the annual Bike the Drive bike ride.  Lake Shore Drive is shut down for four hours and taken over by 20,000 bicyclists.  It was a great time in a great city.

Classic midwest

We almost had a riot at work yesterday morning.  On account of the Great Swine Flu Panic of Twenty Aught Nine, the cafeteria has banned people from filling up their mugs and other drink containers.  This created an angry mob of  women brandishing their 80-ounce Big Gulp mugs and demanding access to the pop fountains.  I was scared for a minute.
