I saw a tree reaching high
into the air
waving to the wind
to the wind up there.
I saw a squirrel climb up the tree
to the highest branch
so his tail could dance
with the bright green living dancing leaves.
I heard a bird up in the tree
whistling songs to the dancing breeze
and the squirrel’s tail dancing happily
and orange sunlight shimmering.
I heard the squirrel start chattering
with the bird song whistling
in the whirling whispered dancing breeze
that fluttered all those dancing leaves.
I saw a world up in that tree
with dancing tails and sun bright leaves
and chattering and whistled songs
and wind of course to hold it all.
I saw a tree reaching high
into the air
waving to the wind
to the wind up there.

Constant video surveillance is a double-edged sword. No one wants to feel like they’re always being watched but then again, the ubiquity of video capture devices in the hands of citizens can be useful for keeping our public servants honest. Take this short (1 minute) video of last week’s Critical Mass ride in NYC as a for instance.
As a parent you want to tell your kids that you can trust the police, right? This cop still has a job today as an NYPD officer.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about utility cycling. Cycling not for sport or recreation but as a way to run errands (sure, as a side-effect it is also sport and recreation). I came across some some cool stats:
- Of all trips in the United States, less than 1 percent are made by bicycle.
- The bicycle is the most energy-efficient form of travel ever devised. Pound for pound, a person on a bicycle expends less energy than any creature or machine covering the same distance. (A human walking spends about three times as much energy per pound; even a salmon swimming spends about twice as much.)
- Short car trips are, naturally, the easiest to replace with a bike trip. Mile for mile, they are also the most polluting.
