It is downright cold in the city today. It is in the low 40’s. BRRRRRRR. I know for some that ain’t bad but for here that is pretty damn cold.
I’m still feeling a little icky from the cold or flu I’m fighting off so didn’t go to the gym today. I went yesterday and had a pretty decent workout. I’m starting a new routine working complimentary groups and then 1 or 2 finisher exercises. I’ve been looking around for a trainer and haven’t quite found one I like yet. Er..Um..well I like several of them however, I need to focus on their skills NOT their bodies. hehehe.

I watched a documentry called “Why We Fight” last night and I was more than a little mad when it was over. I’m pretty optimisitc however, after watching this little flick, my view of the future isn’t very rosey. I was particularly struck by Karen’s story. The American people need to wakeup and realize what is going on before it is too late. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend you watch it. If you are Bush supporter, even remotely, you might just change your mind after seeing it.

I drove another hybrid vehicle the other day. This one had a “synergy drive”, whatever that means. I really liked it. I find I’m using zipcar more and more often. It’s just so darn convenient. So anyway, the car was uber quiet, it had surprisingly good pick up, and I especially like the ratio of gas to miles display on the panel. It does take a little getting used to though. The dashboard layout is completely different from most cars. The gear shift is a short lever that sticks directly out of the dashboard and to park you just stop and punch a button. The only thing I didn’t like was the hatchback. It interferred with my rear view. A small complaint for an overall superb vehicle.
Hope your feeling better, maybe someone will bring you over some homemade chicken soup. Did you put the bike away for the winter?
I took a hybrid Honda Civic cab to the airport the other day. Except for the beat up condition of a brand new car, I liked the ride (though, obviously I didn’t drive) and the noise level was next to zero.
Je liked it.
Wow…it seems like everyone I know has this cold/flu thing. I had it around Christmas. Take care of yourself, Moby.
I know the hybrid car you’re talking about. One of the other teachers in my division owns one. He loves it but said it took him a few months to get used to all of it’s eccentricities.
I’m kicking at home tonight, not feeling like going out braving the cold. It was 44 when I was on the way home at around 5pm. Grabbed some fried chicken togo from Orphan Andy’s and made myself comfortable.
Hope you’re feeling better Moby. Stay warm. 🙂
GET BETTER Moby! 40 is cold but boi…it’s upper 20’s/very low 30’s here in SoCal in the evenings. And I am still walking around in jeans, a short sleeve t-shirt or shirt, and occasionally flip-flops. What can I say… I live in SoCal. 🙂
It’s in the 50’s here in the Midwest. My brother has a hybrid Honda and I constantly thank him for saving fuel so I don’t feel so quilty using more fuel.
We have been at -31 degrees these past few days. It’s so cold that the moisture in your eyes freezes almost instantly. I can only dream of sun warmed limbs… likely not for another couple months at least.
It’s so weird. It was in the 70’s here today. We neve have rough winters but this is crazy. I was in shorts and a wifebeater.
Hope you get to feeling better.
