Got out today. It's been a while. Donnie was somewhere in the city, but I didn't see him. It was sunny, then it started pouring rain, then we had a rainbow.
"It's rain or shine." That's what Donnie says. You don't get a pass if it's raining. You still gotta work. If Joey is out there driving, we gotta be running.
Joey was a little riled up today - kept flooring the thing and racing ahead, then jamming on the brakes. Coming down Lovejoy he tried to time a yellow light at 19th and then had to skid to a halt - I kid you not - while I ran effortlessly through the red light. Ha! Is there a circus in town that lost its clown?
Leaves are on the pavement now - you gotta watch it.
I had a few tough moments, but pretty easy overall. There's been some traffic that is totally wrecking the final sprint up SW 11th behind the Y. The streetcar gets all penned up and it's no contest. Not that it's a contest without any traffic, but this way Joey has an excuse he can feel good about: "I couldn't catch him because of the traffic." Yeah, that's why.
Streetcars were jammed at rush hour with people fogging up the glass. Outside it was nice and wet.
I went to yoga the other morning at the Y (don't tell Donnie - he rags me) and guess what a woman there said to me after class?
"Are you the guy that chases the streetcar?"
