Asheville Has No Gas

This is not an exaggeration to get attention. For some reason, although the rest of the country seems to be taking Sunday drives and using gas-powered leaf blowers, the folks in our town have been spending hours in line to fill up their SUVs and scooters.

Today is the first day of the week that I've had to drive. While I have enough gas to last a couple of days (and hopefully won't have to wait for an hour or more when I have to fill up), I still got stuck in traffic as the cars block entire lanes of the road near the one gas station that was open.

Bicycles, people. Buses, people.

I'm engaged!

Just kidding. I'm missing comments on my blog, though, and wanted to see if this would spark some reaction...

September Photos

Some bike maintenance.

Some Connor-love.

(Relatives: I'll send you some more photos. I didn't want to have the whole world seeing our family's rendition of Jon Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer.")

A couple of wedding (yes, that one IS in a Howard Johnson).

This is our small airport. It is quite different from the one in Newark, NJ. I took this picture because I was sitting on the curb while waiting for Roomie, and thought about how I'd be run over if I did that in New Jersey. Sass made fun of those sunglasses, but I wasn't being ironic by wearing them. I think that they are rad, really.
