Yesterday I wrote about the new bicycle borrowing program in San Francisco. This morning I opened a video link from Avie about automated underground bicycle parking in Japan. When I read the Free Cycle Network I thought it was all about bikes, it wasn't.

Become a member of the Free Cycle Network. It's all about sharing and recycling working items. There are a lot of good ideas out there in cyberville.

I watch television when I'm doing my daily thirty minutes of step aerobics. I recorded and watched the entire run of the Sopranos back when James Gandolfini was alive. HBO ran the series a second time, back to back, but I couldn't watch it twice. 

My mind starts to wander if I don't have something to focus on. Why am I doing this? I've been stuck at 154 for three months. Why am I doing this? I hate this. I'm tired and my legs hurt. And finally the oft said movie line, "I'm too old for this shit." But I know it's good for me so I grit my teeth and do it.

Yesterday "Annie Hall" was on. Over the years I've seen it almost as often as "The Godfather" (I and II) the character Alvie Singer (Woody Allen) asked a couple on the street why they got along so well. The woman said, "It's because I'm shallow and never have anything of interest to say" and the man said, "And I'm the same way."

He also asked an older man if he and his wife do anything to spice up their sex life. The man said, "We use a large vibrating egg."

I have lots of interesting things to say but I never go too deep. There's enough crap in the world to think about. When you read the blog I want you to have a few minutes of relaxation, a few minutes of happiness, a few minutes of humor and joy. Now, having said all that: What the Hell is going on with the damn price of gas?

Gas prices on the rise because of unrest in Syria? Has something happened (aside from the alleged chemical weapons) in Syria to make a difference? Looking at video taken in that area, things looked pretty fucked up three months ago. Are they going to take their oil and go home now? Syria produces .48% of the worlds oil, less than 1%. But still, prices are up.

I don't mean to imply the problem with Syria is the ONLY reason gas prices are up. Looking at ABC news on line there are ten different headlines on increasing oil prices.

A Saudi prince bought a new boat, gas prices rise.
The emir has funded a year long study for a name change from Abu Dahbi to How Abu You, gas prices rise.
The ruler of Qatar bought a new guitar, gas prices rise.
The Dallas Cowboys and Huston Texans both win, gas prices rise.
The President of Standard Oil retires, gas prices rise.
A fire in a California refinery, gas prices rise.
Oil reserves in the U.S. decrease, gas prices rise.
Oil reserves in the U.S. increase, gas prices rise.
Hurricane in the east, flood in the south, tornado in the mid-west, gas prices rise.
After 32 years Robin Williams returns to network television, gas prices rise.
Those of us in power want more money, gas prices rise.

I have got to say something about the word TWERK.

On August 22nd I wrote a note: Do You Know How To Twerk? Mickey, a character on "Ray Donovan" asked a woman, and like her, I didn't know what it meant. 

From Wikipedia: A type of dancing in which the dancer, usually a woman, shakes her hips in an up-and-down bouncing motion, causing the dancer's buttocks to shake, "wobble and "jiggle" There's more but I'll sum it up, it's dirty dancing. Did you see Miley Cyrus at the V.M.A? Twerking has been around for years. 

Jimmy Kimmel admits Twerking Goes Bad video was a prank. The new co-host shows off her stuff, Jenny McCarthy Twerks on the "View." You can watch about 5,000,000 videos on YouTube if you search Twerking. There are twerking bears, twerking cats, twerking dogs and even twerking fish. 

Twerking is out in the main stream. I'm so glad I'm now familiar with this slice of Americana. I may be getting old but no moss will grow on me. What's next? How about the Orgasmatron?

Sometimes you just know it was a mistake!

They were newlyweds, but she was having second thoughts about the 8-day-old marriage, court documents say. The couple drove the short distance to Glacier National Park, where they got into an argument. He grabbed her by the arm, but she pulled away and shoved him face-first off a cliff to his death.

Federal prosecutors have given their version of what happened to Cody Lee Johnson, 25, two months after his body was found in an area of the park so steep and rugged that a helicopter had to be used in the recovery.

Jordan Linn Graham, 22, appeared Monday in federal court on a second-degree murder charge in Johnson's July 7 death. Her attorney declined to comment.

They were dating for two years before the marriage and she didn't have a clue? And here I thought my marriage to the bad spouse ended badly.
