Single Speed Stella

I don't like confrontation or anger or anything, really, that could be construed as a bummer...and lately it seems like stuff is getting better as a result of the economy going to shit...

First, my old bike-nemesis, the SUV, is now roundly viewed as an evil, evil thing. Not only that, but today I ventured out and I swear that there was an equal number of people on bikes riding home from work as cars. Kick ass. Granted, Palo Alto/Mountain View have always been bike-friendly, but this was off-the-hook rad.

Second, rampant consumerism seems to be getting curbed, just a scosh...maybe just in the amount of Starbucks that will be around, at least according to this story.

Third, i'm now considered "smart" for living in a trailer park, as opposed to just "poor" or "trashy". Sweeeeeeeeet!!!!!
