Pedal to work

Today someone built up some bike racks in the sub-basement.

bike racks

You can literally ride in off the street, up a sidewalk ramp and then walk your bicycle through three doors to an indoor, climate controlled storage room. A camera will be going up at the door. There will eventually be a digital lock on the door. They’ve put some thought into this.

Not pictured: My bicycle. I need a chain, I suppose. Until then, I’ll just stow it in my office after my four-mile ride in.

Pictures from the last few days

We got a new chair over the weekend. Got it just for the cat, apparently:

She won’t get up so that anyone else can try it.

Hanging out with Ernie Pyle:

This was dinner last night. We are so healthy around here:

Today I’m hanging out in the new control room. So many lights and buttons and switches. You can fly to Mars on this console:

That’s a state-of-the-art Grass Valley switcher. This studio is full of high-end equipment. Full of it. And from the new to the old. In storage I found a 1970s video projector:

I wonder when that was used last.

Looking for online cat-alogs

Do you think she knows this isn’t on?

Think she cares?

Pictures from the weekend

Allie and I spent part of the weekend watching the bike races:

But later she found a cable on the ground and curled up inside of it:

So now I have to leave circles everywhere, apparently.

Also, we hung out with The Mayor and her parents for a dinner party:

And I saw this at the office this morning. No idea, yet, what it is. Any guesses?

Probably some sort of drying air circulator or something like that. But I like the handles. Has a very Sean Connery-era James Bond feel to it.

When you go places, you see stuff

And, now, three photos of a dog that exhibits none of the personality traits of his owners:

We went to the next town over for a bit of adventuring this weekend. On the way back we stopped for a quick snack. I saw this flier. Some people should just try harder:

Also, the gentleman in front of me had this shirt on:

It seems the least they could do, but be glad for it, I suppose.
