#67 - dipping / part tabby cat

The guy in traffic behind me this morning was steady dipping his shoulders back in forth in perfect sync with his windshield wipers - he was either listening to a song whose rhythm matches that of his wipers or is part tabby cat.

#66 - Yinzer Rocky




I was riding past Heinz Field today, and watched this yinzer decked out head to toe in black and gold crest the trail, and as soon as the stadium came into view he stuck his finger in the air and started jumping up and down, like a yinzer rocky.

Late addition: He was wearing sweatpants.

#65 - Costco


Ok, so if Idiocracy comes true, Costco will be like an uber-SuperWalmart in the future; but I was pretty impressed with the friendliness of customers and the staff tonight.

Sometimes, it's the little things - a guy offered me his cart while I was walking in (the cynic could say he was lazy, but he was actually pushing it back toward the inside to make the buggy return guys' job easier) - then as I was leaving, I heard another customer offer his cart to someone headed into the store.

#62 - police


I was riding the bike lane downtown (double yellow line) between idling buses and crawling cabs, going a little faster than I should have with the occasional shoulder dip to miss a side view infringing on my not-so personal space, when a cop directing (slow moving) traffic said as I rode past 'make sure they can see you, and be careful' in the sort of way you'd tell a friend not a stranger. I saw three blocks of snow covered Gotham that ride but came home and appreciated not getting run over. And the cop.

#61 - alternatives to drinking

There are a myriad of things to do in Pittsburgh besides drink.... or at least things to do before you go drinking. In this instance, Kayaking on the Allegheny with my cousins.
