Riding in the Rain? Nope.
I’ve been feeling lazy lately. Instead of pedaling my way to work on the majority of week days, I’ve been tapping the gas pedal instead. I can blame it partially on the weather, the cooler weather makes it more difficult to get going in the morning, which makes me run out of time for cycling. Of course, this week we finally had some much-needed rain, and that too curtails my riding. If only I could figure out a way to ride in the rain without getting wet! Wednesday, I rode to work...
Read MoreNeighbors to the Rescue!
Last night, something scary happened. My husband and I left in a hurry to run some errands and thought we had closed our garage door. Of course, not closing the garage door may not seem too terribly scary, but our garage faces an alley where no one can notice strangers coming or going.

But last night, as we drove down our alley and headed...

Because I am such an impatient shopper, I usually begin browsing a store’s inventory online, this way I have a clue as to what they are selling this season. Also,...
Read MoreFall Back…into Darkness!
I still don’t know why most states adhere to the Day Light Savings time change. I understand that it once had to do with either the agrarian economy, meaning farmers having more daylight to harvest, or maybe something to do with the trains. I may be a bit confused on the train thing, I think that had more to do with the different time zones. However, most people I know and talk to, fret over the time change twice a year. In the Spring, when it’s time to spring forward, most happy...
Read MoreResearch and Ramblings
I’m currently working on a research paper for school, so my mind is a little cluttered at the moment. The class is teaching diversity in the classroom, and my topic I’ve chosen to research is environmental racism. So far, I have read a couple of books by Jonathan Kozol, a prominent author in detailing segregation in our schools, that describe instances of environmental racism. I chose this topic because 1) I am an advocate of cleaning up our environment, 2) our cities are very...
