R.I.P

What did you feel when you took this picture?

Troy Skeen ....... Why did you let yourself take you from us? Don't let weakness take over. Don't forget that you have friends to help you through anything. Damn whatever did this to you. What is your situation now. Eternal suffering. Not only did your answer to your problem not help you, you will live it for eternity. Condemned to its pain and stress for as long as time exists. Time would have lifted you out of your dealings. Faith would have taken a hold of you and cleared you of all that was holding you from common sense. Why man why?

You are missed by many. Your life will be lived by all you have made laugh and feel good about life. Feel better about life now that yours has come to an uneventful end.

The 20 mile ride

Just went on a random bike ride after work today. Changed out of my work shirt and hopped on my 9er and went on this ride : http://www.mapmyrun.com/run/united-states/ca/thousand-oaks/282128201398034923

It is pretty disturbing people in cars do not look for cyclists, I had numerous people cut out and/or turn in front of me while I was in plain sight....... No wonder L.A. Mayor Villaraigosa has such a beating heart for cyclists after his encounter: http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local/los_angeles&id=7612545

I hate to wear a helmet, but dammit, I guess I'd better start.......
