Got a flat tyre tonight, and fed the mosquitos...
Had to stop and fix it, and MAN! Never mind the damn things carrying me to Michigan to meet their King, the fucker came down to bleed me dry HIMSELF!

I quit counting at 30 bites, and there were the remains of another 12 smashed all over...

Now I probably got West Nile, or Malaria, or Dengue, or....

6. Yeah, but he forgot to tell the mosquitoes

Lots of people still died building the Panama Canal from it afterward.

3. Came down a hill at almost 35, and it went flat 1/4 mile later...
Guess the road was just a bit too rough. I don't get it. The damage to the tube was a little cut on the spoke side, and i noticed another one starting.

Defects? Damage from the rough-ass road? who knows? cheap-assed over-priced chinese shit? Hmmmm.....

Are things getting rough in that part of town? I remember when Brendonwood Apartments were pretty de-luxe, in fact that whole area was nice...I used to play a lot of Saturday night record parties around there, so I knew most of the complex clubhouses...
