Gold

Sometimes being someone who gets a terrible, fierce joy out of solving obtuse technical problems while working among people who don’t enjoy their jobs feels like being the only guy in the mining camp who actually knows what gold looks like.

coketalk:

“I have been in denial for some time, knowingly burning the candle at both ends and finding that it often gives a lovely light. But for precisely that reason, I can’t see myself smiting my brow with shock or hear myself whining about how it’s all so unfair: I have been taunting the Reaper into taking a free scythe in my direction and have now succumbed to something so predictable and banal that it bores even me. Rage would be beside the point for the same reason.”

— Rest in peace, Mr. Hitchens. You were a beautiful and brilliant man. I’m going to miss you terribly.

You’re welcome.

Seriously. Just watch it.

There are two very different interviews happening here. And one side is not happy about that.

I’m guessing that a stern reprimand was delivered.

nevver:

Don’t be a fright.

Don’t faint on the road.

Don’t wear a man’s cap.

Don’t wear tight garters.

Don’t forget your toolbag

Don’t attempt a “century.”

Don’t coast. It is dangerous.

Don’t boast of your long rides.

Don’t criticize people’s “legs.”

Don’t wear loud hued leggings.

Don’t cultivate a “bicycle face.”

Don’t refuse assistance up a hill.

Don’t wear clothes that don’t fit.

Don’t neglect a “light’s out” cry.

Don’t wear jewelry while on a tour.

Don’t race. Leave that to the scorchers.

Don’t wear laced boots. They are tiresome.

Don’t imagine everybody is looking at you.

Don’t scream if you meet a cow. If she sees you first, she will run.

Don’t cultivate a “bicycle face.”

Before the winter formal, a rare father-daughter photo. Not sure what we were doing when that photo was taken. I’m leaning towards something on the hammy-Broadway, light-racist-operetta spectrum.

“

“You hate America, don’t you?” she said.

“That would be as silly as loving it,” I said. “It’s impossible for me to get emotional about it, because real estate doesn’t interest me. It’s no doubt a great flaw in my personality, but I can’t think in terms of boundaries. Those imaginary lines are as unreal to me as elves and pixies. I can’t believe that they mark the end or the beginning of anything of real concern to the human soul. Virtues and vices, pleasures and pains cross boundaries at will.

Some day I’ll get the hang of all this, but for now, a dog is beckoning you.
