Once again

Where to start? Well for one, this whole blog is a lie.

I’m sorry to those that have followed me faithfully (which as of now is no one) and are let down.

From the outside this blog was designed to look like the chronicle of a mild adventure / challenge to live without a car for a year. That is partially true, I lived without a car for a whole year. It was, contrary to what I would have liked to project, because I got a speeding ticket and didn’t have insurance and lost my license for that amount of time.

Unable to live with the stigma of someone who I would have judged if I weren’t me, I started a blog as a cover. If anyone asked why I was suddenly ditching my car for a bike in a Midwest state where it’s winter 7 months of the year, I would just say I was going green or starting a blog about it or not eating meat anymore, or all of these.

Although, I’d like to say that creating a bog to cover up an indiscretion was pretty clever on my part.

I obviously didn’t keep up with the façade as you can see the last post before this was more than two years ago. But since I have already created this blog, and I’m too lazy to make an entirely new one to start fresh, I thought I should explain the early entries.

I have been inspired by a fellow blogger to re-start blogging and if nothing else, get a little creative exercise daily….or weekly.

I feel that it is important at this juncture to inform you that I have extremely long arms. Abnormally long actually. Most long-sleeved shirts I buy only go about ¾ of the way to my wrist. It’s a burden.

For the record, I did ride my bike May through December to my two jobs. Most of the reason I rode it well into the winter was because I had been told the public bus was full homeless people. When the winter weather got the best of me and I had to give in and buy a bus pass I found out that the bus is not only full of homeless people, but also crazy and smelly people. It was exciting to say the least
