we can't avoid dying; bursting through barriers

**

foresight! planning! the city of London is going to spend a billion dollars to improve cycling in the city, which is about 990 million dollars more than all the cities in michigan combined. But then, I can't help remembering how Stereolab member Mary Hansen was killed while cycling in London. Sigh.

Still, I want to Live There. It's 53 degrees and sunny there! In February! My surprise and happiness are causing mass usage of exclamation points!

i don't fly through gatwick. i fly through heathrow or not at all.

i thought the vw xywf was from holland. i guess it just depends on the accent.

(new) word verification: ilgcbp, which i believe was the follow-up to hanson's "mmm, bop."
