The transmission in my car blew last week, when each day the temperature was near 100. I could have gotten a rental while repairs were being made, but it seemed more interesting to bicycle to the gallery–as most of the world bicycles to work. It’s only six miles, and the heat’s not really an issue. The car’s since been fixed. Will I keep up with the bicycling? Actually yes, on certain days. Seems more civilized than the car, except there’s no place to put my coffee.
