apparently I make old man noises every time I get up…

someone needs to invent a 1 speed bike for me.

Is it really possible to re-double your efforts? It sort of implies you’re already doubled your efforts…how is re-doubling going to help?
wouldn’t it just be easier to quadruple your efforts?
I think this is somehow George Lucas’ fault…jerk!!!!

OK back to animal stories…
I was riding home yesterday and saw a panicked dog darting down this 4 lane street…a few seconds later about a 14 year old girl came darting as well and yelling…dog crosses 4 lanes and I’m sort of tracking the dog to see if I can help…girl is way behind so I decide to cross the street and try to catch it as I know the girl can’t see the last street the dog darted down and I did…attempted to search for dog and ride up and down a couple streets and come across the girl…I ask her if she spoke english and tell her what i saw…she goes one way and me the other…cross her again 5 minutes later and she’s crying, and she keeps saying thank you thank you thank you, but I haven’t done anything…I see her about 5 more times in the next 20 minutes and I always say I haven’t seen her (the dog) and she always says thank you…
for the people who were ruined by disney…I found the dog and gave it some water and she was reunited with the girl…
for the realists…after about 20-30 minutes I saw no more signs of the dog or the girl…the dog probably survived as it sort of ended up on a residential street and eventually crawled out from whatever car it was under and will be happy with a new owner….
for the pessimists…the dog is dead…

…and i may have possibly teared up (who hasn’t lost a pet)…I got called a girl for this 😉
