(not that type of solvent)
It's been a long time coming (2 weeks) but I'm finally solvent again. Not many people can own a cheap bass for a year, ding it, crack it, have a slight delamination issue and sell it for a profit. Thanks to Craigslist, you can too.
I used the opportunity of having money to go down and get a mothers day card. But what I saw out side of Poor Richards was disturbing. Then after I stopped looking at myself in the mirror, I saw this....
It is a Virata (carbon rear triangle), complete with lots of gain with the stem, Ksyrium wheelset (scratching against the bike rack), and miniature lock. And if you're gonna have all that lateral stiffness, obviously you will need a stiff pedal/shoe combo to transfer your 204 Watts to the road during LT sessions...
Efficiency!
So I strode into the bookstore, beaming after successfully judging someone I don't know. First thing I saw was a book in the children's section it was on the bottom shelf, and at first I thought it was called "Bee Bop," but it was still good
I didn't finish it because it was a pretty formidable read (here's a side view), but I flipped through it and found some sterling (though non jazz related) text
I don't know if I'm interpreting the illustration right, but I commend Denise for finally publishing a book that teaches kids the inevitability of death. Starting them slowly with beetles, maybe someday down the line, a kid will accept a dog dying because its old, and not force his/her parents to shell out a couple grand in order to preserve its (the dog, not parents) miserable life slightly.
The publishers also managed to teach children a valuable economics lesson.
"No matter how weird the economic landscape of the horrible future that we are about to embrace becomes, the Canadian dollar will always be weaker than the American... What's that you say about 2007? LALALALALA....."
