kjpepperPerhaps the one thing that didn't benefit from the move to Amherst this year was my bike. Poor Bellenoire's been out in the elements this year a lot due to the general neglectfulness of her mistress. :( Basically the only times she got a break is when I would leave her at work.
Anyway, I just brought her in today cause I didn't want her getting stuck in a snowbank all winter... course, it's still too late, as something's hit her back rim, bending it all to fuckall and popping the inner tube. *shakes head* Gonna have to get that fixed. Lucky for me there's a bike shop in the back of our building. It's run by a bunch of Amherst hippies, but since bike repair's never something I need ass right away, I can deal. But for now, poor Belle's in for the winter. Have to do better by her next year.
In other news, I have to give major shots out to Luis. He's been my regular bus driver (to work) all year, a nice grandfatherly gentleman with a heavy spanish accent and always a kind word fo me in the morning. I must say he did a heroic job navigating the almost blizzard like conditions out there and the shitty, slippery roads. Mad props to him and the rest of the regular PVTA drivers out there braving the weather (both regular and UMass routes). To them and everyone that had to drive anyfuckingwhere today, get home safely.
In better news, I took a bunch of pics of the winter wonderland. Alas, all I had with me was my camera phone, but they should make for some fun postin's later on. For now, I think some tea is in order.
