Welcome to South Central

so i think i got my official welcome to the neighborhood last week. i woke up friday morning and as we headed out for staff meeting paul asked, "where's you're bike?" he was confused because they are usually parked and locked on the side of the house to some pipes and mine wasn't there. but since they had been painting the house the previous day, i had decided to lock it to the fence on the other side. so i looked over to where my bike had been parked. no bike. hmm. "well, i guess it's gone." that's all i had to say. i was not really shocked at all to walk over only to see my shredded bike lock hanging on the fence. oh well. that's life in the hood i suppose. no big deal. except that bikes are our main means of daily transportation to and from campus. so, i guess i'll be walking to campus, right? wrong! we have target gift cards! just one of the great perks to getting married. so saturday we made a little trip to the store and bought myself a pretty sweet new ride...and it cost us absolutely nothing. it's a little different than my other bike, but it gets me around the neighborhood just fine. and i got a much better lock. i'm holding on to this one for a while...hopefully.

this is it...more or less. mine doesn't have the fancy fenders, but this little cruiser gets me around and is actually quite a comfortable ride (as long as i don't hit too many bumps).
