I stop and pick up a magazine , with plans to later relax and read . I buy magazines in my area of interest. Hiking or Bicycling. So for every month for the last 120 consecutive months I have been able to read about how to not be eaten by bears. Thus far it has worked.
I have also read for the last 120 consecutive months about how Lance Armstrong has never tested positive for performance enhancing substances. That would be the Bicycling magazine. I can not wait to see next months issue, promises to be something new. Probably will say something like, French medical science is from the dark ages. Bicycling magazine was like the worship temple for Lance Armstrong. It was lance 24/7 for 10 straight years. His stoney visage was on every other cover. The only people more shamed by Lance than Lance himself should be the Bicycling Magazine editorial staff. Now I guess for the next 120 months bicyclist everywhere will be subjected to the insufferable Greg Le Monde telling us: "I told you so".
Now that he has been exposed for what he is and what he had been , I am left wondering if any bike manufacturer will ever sell another 12,000 dollar molybendium/titanium/ carbon fiber framed bicycle. Every spandex wearer of any note thought that he could be the next Lance if he only spent the equivalent of a 401K on his next bike. I never in my wildest dream even considered buying one of those bikes. But every once in awhile you would like to be able to spend like a real housewife of Beverly Hills or a hip hop star de jure.
So as I exited the bookstore the other night , I looked across the parking lot and saw a sign and I knew I just had to have it. Yup a $20 , car wash. Heck when you have money to burn. Get yourself a waterfall of hot carnauba wax cascading down your car....why it is almost sensuous. Sensuous maybe, stupid definitely. Strange thing is I haven't yet decided how it is pronounced. bubb lizer or bubble lizer. Finding that answer might be worth $20 bucks. Or maybe not.
