Bikes

Here's a pic of the bike rack at the train station near my apt. called Ostbahnhof. Lots of people ride bikes here, and there are a lot of bike lanes. Also, they are treated like legitimate traffic, and not just a nuisance on the road. I may have to reconsider my platform on bike traffic in the States, although I don't look forward to being behind a bike when I am driving, going slow and wanting to pass without sideswiping the bike. Here there are more bike lanes though too, so I think that makes a difference also. I am thinking about getting a used bike to use while I am here, thus reversing my platform on exercise also. Wow, Europe is really changing me!

Shooting at the Spearmint Rhino last night. One dead, one injured. Drinks on the house.

The Rhino is a Vegas-based human ATM that leaves you exhausted and reeking of perfume and smoke. And a lot poorer. Joe hasn't been there, honestly.

The bouncers there have been in several films - David and Larry Sontag, grouchy guys.
