i hate cars

i hate cars. i hate how shiny they are and how hard they make transporting helium balloons.

while cleaning a sea of paperwork off my kitchen table (since i eat on the sofa), i found my car insurance bill, which was due in 4 hours. my agent couldn't take a payment over the phone or internet, so i gave the check to a local horseman who happened to be trailblazing near his hut.

changing low-beams also blows goats. i spent two weeks with a mostly dismantled headlight riding shotgun until my sad-sap act tricked the friendly Checker's Autoparts fix-it man to help me. but the whole way home i had dirt on my hands from trying to change it. ivory soap has never felt so refreshing.

now, i need an 82,500 mile change. does it ever end?

Eco-Friendly Transportation Questioned

Hear how my bike chain squeaks?
Those raucous links need to be oiled
(Before those noises turn to shreiks).
But then my pants legs will get soiled.
Alas! Even something rather simple
Can become more like a pimple.

This post is a lot like Jonnee's Three Things That Make Me Cry post.

I hope the soiling is from the oiling!
