Reality, that is awesome. I looked at the photos.
My 'claimed' son (he claimed us as his surrogate parents) is heavily involved in the alternative transportation organization here, Bike Athens. I bet sometime in the future he would like to participate in that. In fact I bet he'd like to be in touch with the organizers. I'll email him the link.

Numan, I'd be interested in you starting a thread on that theme. It's a particular gripe of mine too.
My beat up but in great shape old car comes to mind. I dread when I have to buy a new one. Then I'm in the disposable world of cars like appliances have become.

So I went to the gym today and did a new alternative routine they gave me (because you're not supposed to do the same thing each time).

LOL, my old workout was a good workout but this one went up a notch.
