for jason

Thanks Mike, Kim, and my Chocolate for the pictures.

Jason L. said he "enjoyed reading about [my] days," so I'm doing a mini-update. My camera is finally at Canon's repair place. It took me like 2 weeks to find the paper with the phone number on it, because I am slow & I don't like thinking about it being broken.

I bought a motorcycle over spring break! Its a 1974 Honda CL360 Scrambler. It had 3500 miles on it when I bought it, and it has 4100 miles on it now... :) It is lots and lots and lots of fun to ride. Actually, the Jason I mentioned earlier let me use his TANK 150cc moped to take the driving test at the DMV. I had to get the license before I went with my friends to Dixon to get the bike. It was located near there, so we got it, and checked it for mechanical soundness at their garage. Then I rode it 250 miles back to Danville. Note that if you google that trip, it is only 200 miles; it suffices to say that I took a scenic route. At one point I was actually blasting down a gravel-dirt road in the middle of nowhere but woods and cornfields. For a few minutes, I really thought I might had managed to slip inside of Walter Salles' Motorcycle Diaries.

More pictures when my helmet and classic goggles come in.
