It's the first nice day in 2 1/2 weeks. I need to make up some work hours, but I left at 6 any­way to get an hour or two of bik­ing before sun­set. I came home, drank a bot­tle of water, put on my usual bik­ing out­fit, and found the front tire on my bike com­pletely exploded. I knew both tires were very worn because the side­wall fibers were vis­i­ble and looked brit­tle. The tire doesn't have a lit­tle whole or any­thing, it's more like it sim­ply fell apart or burst at once. Nuts!

Update: It's not all bad. My DVDs arrived today from Amazon.com: Hot Shots, Hot Shots Part Deux, Air­plane, and The Naked Gun Tril­ogy. All new. All widescreen. All right.
