San Diego Let Down or Where Nothing is Real

Face it, San Diego is where the desert meets the ocean. Everything else is planted, paved and built. Explaining it to East Coasters is easy, Norfolk Virginia on a hill side.
The airport (in the center of town) and the US Navy occupy all the best real estate and the rest is a web of interstate, freeways and cars. 3 million people driving everywhere they go, no mass transit to speak of really and if you want to ride a bike you're more than likely to get RTFO'ed
(Run The Fuck Over.)
This is not to say there aren't beautiful places to see or hang out around.













Bob Hope has nice tits.

New Wheel, A Little Shipping Damage, Easy Fix

Can you even see it? This rim came with a little ding near the valve stem, a very nice set of wheels. Send it back or just fix it?



Perfection is an opinion, an unattainable human obsession. I put so much into trying to reach a level of perfect in my work and in my bike builds. But I think of a story about Islamic rug weavers that intentionally weave a patch of dissimilar pattern into an other wise perfect rug in the belief that man is not to reach perfection.

Now, I know you can't see it.

Nothing To See Here

The dog days of summer have come early this year to Richmond. This town is known for its heat but mostly the river that runs in the middle of everything brings humidity that makes being out side like being inside...a terrarium. I made one out of a giant pickle jar when I was a kid and had a jungle growing in it. Now my back yard is just like it only no beautiful ferns instead mostly poison ivy. It's being handled though.

Fifty bucks each and they don't mind the heat. They've already put a big dent in the 3/4's of an acre of over grown property we own. But they're here illegally. No papers or work documents. Live stock living in the city. As far as "The Man" is concerned they're rented. Hell of some workers these two but I'm not paying their FICA taxes.

Flying A Different Flag For The 4th "O" July

Uruguay plays Guana today to move on in the World Cup and I'm hoping this flag will be flying through to the Final Game and victory for my adopted Country.
