Bike to work

Last week is bike to work week (winter version), and I rode the whole week. It was amazing that we had a whole week without rain in winter in Vancouver, perfect weather for riding. :)

I started to ride to work since last year, and it was May to October. I caught a cold at the beginning of October, and stopped riding since then.

For this year, I started riding from the end of March. Later I got all my rain gears (waterproof pants, jacket, shoe covers, reflectors...), which make me I could ride in the rainy days. I caught a cold again in the beginning of this October, I stopped riding for a couple of days, but I go back to ride as soon as I recovered. At the beginning of Nov, I heard that the VACC announced the Bike to work winter version, and I thought they were crazy. I never imaged I could still ride in the end of Nov.

Gain(Loss) from this year's riding:
1) Weight Loss of 6.5 pounds
2) Saved the money for ~7 month passes (~ $500, wow!). Minus the money spend on the rain gears, still saved ~$300 :)

Well, good enough. I guess I'll stop riding for Dec, Jan and Feb. I have already seen frost last week, and I can expect to see some ice in the next couple of days. Snow or Ice, that are the stop signs for me.

** is my middle name

** is my middle name, 这种表达法在电视广告的轰炸下,终于被我深深的记住了,表示**是我最大的特征或者最喜欢做的事。比如:Cool is my middle name. Danger is my middle name.

我们公司有一个同事(假设他叫Eric Cartman),特喜欢跟别人开玩笑。别人说他你怎么总是harass people? 然后他就得意洋洋的说"Harass is my middle name." 这样听他说了几次,也没觉得有多搞笑。直到有一天,他再次说"Harass is my middle name"的时候,另一个同事说,我明白了,原来你的全名叫Eric Harass(es) Cartman.

股市大跌影响流浪汉的收入

在温哥华的流浪汉聚居的区域走过,看到一个流浪汉在追着一个黑人要钱。黑人说“I don't have money!” 而后,似乎嫌语气还不够强烈似的,说“I lost all my money in the stock market!”
