I snapped this shot when I was out on the rented motorcyle in Hawaii:
The rental place only had Harleys. I’m not really a Harley guy, but it was fun riding around. Maybe if I ever go back I’ll find the other bike rental place and get something a little less… well, Harley-ish.
I really like the way the rust colors came out, with the light sky and dark water above and below, respectively.
I went for a relaxing bike ride around the neighborhood, and snapped a few pics. This one is at the corner of 24th and Dolores:
I was kind of worn out, so I didn’t ride anywhere particularly challenging. Sometimes it just feels good to get outside and see what the neighborhood is up to.
This morning I took the subway in to Manhattan and caught the Staten Island Ferry. It was free, gave me my boat fix, and offered a great view of the city. The sky had cleared up and the sun was out.
I promptly turned around and came back. I found out that the shoes I was wearing have very little traction on snowy streets. So I made my way carefully, walking up Broadway. It was very cold, so I ducked in to a place to grab a bite, then did some “window shopping” at the J&R Electronics store. I got into a discussion with a woman shopping there about the problems with the Bush administration.
Then I walked toward City Hall, turned right, and walked halfway across the Brooklyn Bridge. The sun was reflecting on the water as a DEP boat, several ferries and a couple tugs passed underneath. The air was still cold and crisp, and the view was outstanding. I had made my way many miles by train, boat and foot.

Asked whether the exclusion of those countries [Canada, Russia, Germany, France] from bidding on construction contracts [in Iraq] violates international law, Bush said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about by international law. I better consult my lawyer.”

This morning I spent an hour getting a massage and an hour and fifteen minutes floating in a sensory deprivation tank. This scores highly on the “trying new things” scale.
