World Bicycle Day

World Bicycle Day is celebrated every year on June 3. The day aims at developing a culture of cycling for basic transportation, commutation, and strengthening physical and mental health.

The first bicycle day was celebrated on June 3, 2018. Professor Leszek Sibilski, Polish social scientist working in the United States, led a grassroots campaign with his sociology class to promote a UN Resolution for World Bicycle Day. Read a more in-depth article here.

I love my bicycle and ride it usually twice a week. I have ridden it to work, about 8.5 miles and it doesn’t take that much longer than driving. I suppose I could ride it more…

it’s almost Friday! Ride your bike!

My Current Book

The Joy of Less, A Minimalist Living Guide: How to Declutter, Organize, and Simplify Your Life.

It’s not a bad book, kinda dry, lots of repetition. I’m about a little over half way done. There’s lots of useful information. I’m incorporating a lot of it, one area at a time.

Just for the fun of it, ask a random person if they have an old, dead printer or computer monitor hanging around their house. They probably do, I do and thought everybody did.

I’m not throwing away anything that belongs to the wife, except old medicines and perishables perishables. But I’m majorly cleaning.

The book reminds me of when I was packing to move here from the USA. I was clearing my house and I would throw a precious artifact in the garbage and feel incredible pain. Hand with item hovering over the can. But as soon as the object left my hands and fell into the trash can, the pain disappeared. Then I would be throwing another artifact away and look into the trash can and see the old artifact and the payment return. The secret is don’t look, you won’t hurt.

So this is a good exercise. Lots of old good stuff going to the humane society, partly because having a yard sale is too much hassle.

Have a happy hump day!

Tuesday Pictures

My title block was gone for my post today. Had to switch devices.

Below are just some random pictures. I really like the first one. The second, I like gnomes and the third, I guess because it’s true.

Today is a big online conference at work. Day one of three. Hopefully I can do my homework for my training while I listen to the conference!

Have a good day!
