You should have gotten dressed and headed out on the bike.

See above. If you had been out riding, this wouldn’t have happened.

or, rule #5

Chain jammed. Quick link wasnt quick – wood not break. 1000 cyclists biked by asking if I was okay (pretty amazing). ShawnoftheDread stopped and made fun of me. Some guy stopped with a chain breaker so I could break the chain, gave me a quick link, but then left before I could put the chain back together. Walked the walk of shame home.

Came home…. Wife was still there. Odd. What’s wrong?? “P.I.G. got up on the dinning table and ate all the home made chocolate lollipops.” P.I.G. is the name of our Jack Russell Labrador. The carnage was tremendous. Apparently three lollipops survived.

So, um, how are you getting ready for the Mayan Apocalypse?

I bought some extra beer at Total Wine that ostensibly for a New Year’s weekend/party I’m going to, but if the world’s ending, i’m going out drunk on good beer.

Yeah, there is that. If you’re going to bring up the rules, I did rule #2, but you didn’t follow.

Note to self. Use SPF 900000 on Fri.

I am stupefied by the combination of luck and idiocy that would let someone flip a car over like that. I wonder if speed was a factor…

I would guess distracted driving.

Came home to these…my conversion to Virginian is now complete.

Sweetums’, have ya adapted to the local dialect? You just have to litter your phrasiology with the occasional “y’all” and “I’m busier than a one legged man in a butt-kicking contest.”

We’re in the wrong part of Virginia for that. Here, all you need is a pair of brown flip flops.

Dog ate my brown pair long ago…I’ve been surviving on black ones I got at a Walmart in Nowhere, NC. Clearly I need to go shopping.

I don’t have a picture of it on my car, but this is what the Maryland “Bike” plate looks like. Thanks WABA!

As usual, MD uses twice as many words as necessary.

Don’t forget including the occasional “R” in saying words like Washington, washing machine, and gosh.

beautiful pic, Dirt! Thanks for sharing! I, again, did not ride today LOL. I’ve always had the “constitution” of a crocodile (look it up!), but this year I’ve been hit with various ailments 3+ times. The + time was a few hours where I thought I was coming down with something, went to bed, and woke up feeling fine. So, even though I whine and complain like a little girl about not riding in (I always whine when I’m sick, because my mom actually is awesome and would baby me haha) so I love seeing these awesome pictures.

Ugh…I drove today, for the first time in about 6 weeks, because I thought I needed to wear a suit because I’d be spending the day at my new office working with the woman I’m replacing (it’s a rotational position). Looking like that isn’t going to happen, so I drove for nothing. However, it did give me my first opportunity to time how long the drive takes on what I judge to be the optimal route in good traffic conditions. It should surprise no one that driving saved me zero minutes. I did get to crank up the tunes though, so I guess there’s that?
