As Far As I Can Tell


No more pointy hair

Today was the first real Moped Army meeting of the season. It’s nice that we have the Rocket Star to meet at now. Last year we would go to 1977 or The Crows Nest. The moped shop wasn’t very comfortable and there were too many repair related distractions. The restaurant never really welcomed us and required that people purchase food or drinks. Dan has a habit of opening new businesses that fill all his needs.

We figured out the details of the upcoming Moped BBQ 10, taking place Memorial Day weekend. We’ve modified the race so it’s safer, and planned a weekend that’s going to be fun for both in and out of town members.

It’s still almost too cold to be riding mopeds at night, but during the day is perfect with just a jacket. Every spring I forget just how much I love it until that first ride. Mopes are worth all the hassle.

On Saturday I got my haircut. Gone is the twisty swirl, sitting precariously on my forehead like an oversized ice cream cone. I rocked that style for far too long and I’m happy having less hair to deal with.

Kalamazoo is an okay place, but doesn’t have nearly as many opportunities as a larger city. As far as jobs go, you’re lucky if you can get a good one. Generally there is only one or two places that anyone in a particular career would want to work at — to the point that most people leave town if they lose their jobs. Are you getting tired of Chicago?
