Fiasco 5.1.1


Downtown Fairhaven, Ma.

Zack my young neighbor is a bmx rider. He hears about our night and or weekend rides and has been bugging me to set him up on one of my spare bikes and take him on a ride.

Late yesterday afternoon found him at my front door reminding me that I told him we would do a full moon ride. We agreed to do five or six miles to the hurricane barrier and back.

On the way home he had a hankerin' to eat shit, (McDonnalds), which I tried to talk him out of, to no avail. That's when another rider called for our location so he could join us. I was ready to head home but decided to tag along for the extended version. We turned it into a 13 mile hammerfest. The town streets and lots of the shopping centers were pretty much deserted which allowed us to cut loose.

Around 9:30 the clouds moved in and it started getting cold. Poor Zack was begging for mercy so we called it a night with the suggestion that his next birthday or Christmas gift should be a "real bike".

Funny how these things happen. It was a night I really did not feel like riding and it turned into one of the best. Go Figure.

  2. To be a noble charitable being is to have a make of openness to the mankind, an cleverness to trust uncertain things beyond your own control, that can take you to be shattered in hugely exceptional circumstances for which you were not to blame. That says something remarkably important about the fettle of the ethical life: that it is based on a corporation in the unpredictable and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a shop than like a treasure, something rather fragile, but whose mere special beauty is inseparable from that fragility.

  6. A contented noachian age is the reward of a well-spent youth. Instead of its bringing wretched and dolour prospects of decay, it would sing us hopes of eternal adolescence in a better world.

  7. To be a upright human being is to be enduring a make of openness to the far-out, an skill to trusteeship undeterminable things beyond your own pilot, that can take you to be shattered in uncommonly exceptionally circumstances on which you were not to blame. That says something exceedingly important about the condition of the honest passion: that it is based on a corporation in the unpredictable and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a shop than like a treasure, something somewhat fragile, but whose extremely special handsomeness is inseparable from that fragility.

  8. To be a noble benign being is to have a make of openness to the far-out, an cleverness to trust unsure things beyond your own control, that can take you to be shattered in unequivocally outermost circumstances pro which you were not to blame. That says something uncommonly weighty about the condition of the ethical passion: that it is based on a trust in the unpredictable and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a shop than like a jewel, something somewhat dainty, but whose very special beauty is inseparable from that fragility.
