A long time ago I planted some Papaya seeds, a long time ago like 2 weeks. They didn’t come up and I was beginning to worry. But this morning, Ta daaaa! 3 out of 4 little papaya plants are growing. Maybe the fourth will come up today. I planted them from seeds of a papaya I ate.

My car is still in the shop. I rekkon I’ll get it back today. I rode my bike home yesterday and will ride it in today. It amazes me that people are amazed that I ride my bike to and from work. It’s less that 10 miles. I bought one of those geeky helmets. As a car driver, I take a biker with a helmet more seriously that one without. Like they’re a tri-athlete or professional bike rider or something.

I’ve been thinking about buying a Vespa. Instead of paying $70 a week or more for gas I could pay $6 every other week. the only problem is that I’m worried about killing myself. I don’t quite understand why I am worried about wrecking or getting run over on a Vespa more than my bike. On my bike, I could get run over by a Vespa! Maybe it has something to do with an engine, or license plates. On a Vespa, I’m in the same class as a car in some ways, but on a bike, maybe I think drivers have an obligation to look out for me. . . I dunno.
