Reading (For Dummies)

Syracuse @ Sunset

I fixed up a flat on my bike (metal shard sticking in the rear tire, ouch), and went riding. I meant to go for a little leg loosener (going on a much longer ride tomorrow, ankle willing). I ended up riding around for 3 hours.

Unfortunately there are no other photogenic buildings at SU. I rode through the graveyard and did a little bouldering on the bigger monuments. Must bring my shoes next time, and crash pads. Since that didn't work out so well (not wanting to take chances with my heads versus concrete), I went riding around a bit more.

I finally figured out how to get to those three big water towers near Manley fieldhouse. There is a wee little fire lane that goes to the "Reservoir." Odd, where I come from reservoirs are big lakes, not water towers.

So I rode around some more and eventually it got dark.

The Blues Fest is this weekend, I'm hoping to catch a bit more of that tomorrow night, and maybe some more fireworks. It's interesting to walk or drive in downtown Syracuse when the fireworks are going. The sound echoes off all the buildings. If you close your eyes, you can imagine you are back on the streets of Belgrade...

Finally, I went over to Sarah's to watch a little Bourne Identity. But first I couldn't help but laugh at this sex advice show.

I love this country again. You know you're doing something right when old people can talk about the etiquette of rim jobs on TV.
