I totally want to ride my mountain bike to work and not take the yokel-local bus or my big jacked up truck to work if at all possible today. I think I might be in luck, as it looks like the rain will pull off in the next hour or so, as the skies lighten up.
The new ramp from Cherry Avenue to Albany County Rail Trail is now officially open, 🚲 though for about three weeks now I’ve been dodging the barricades and using it before the politicians had their public masterbation celebration with the cutting of the ribbon 🎀. Honestly, I much prefer that route to riding through the squiggly piggly suburban sprawl route, past the wealthy woke houses with their chemical lawns and overflowing garbage bins every Monday morning and SUVs spewing chemicals into the air. The ones that pretend to recycle and give a damn with their solar panels on their roofs. ☀️ Says the boy with the big jacked up truck who recycles mostly using fire to turn shit into carbon dioixde for the plants. 🔥 And dump the endless seeming piles of banana 🍌 peels and apple cores at my parents 5 acres in the sticks.
But it’s a much nicer ride once I reach the ramp and are plunged into the quietness of the rail trail, 🐐 as I continue to listen to more about Goat Farming for Dummies on my Hoopla Audio Book I got out of the library. 📚 Then it’s down to the ghetto, watching for the hungry welfare recipients as they never watch or give right away as the pull out of their subsidized housing in their bling-bling SUVs. And then it’s under the rumbling and falling apart Interstate 787 that the DOT and it’s contractors keep trying to patch and keep in service for a few more years. 🚗 Then past the garbage recycling plant, where they pull out the metals for the scrap yards and ship the plastics and paper mostly to landfill or maybe China where a market exists. And the stink of the sewage plants 🚽 where they scrape off the solids and burn them and then dump them atop the garbage heap in the Pine Bush. It beats driving, and it’s a chance to learn more about horney buck goats and producing your own meat and milk. My parents did the goat thing for many years when they were young. I’m less excited about dairying though, it’s so much fucking work if you don’t do it professionally. 🐮 Goats are great if you have a lot of trash land you want to get rid of the brambles and invasives, turn the trash into meat and manure. 🥩 💩 Just like hogs are great if you want to tear up the land and manure it into good earth 🌎 for growing shit. 🌱
Like usual I rode my bike downtown in the pitch black, through the Corning Preserve keeping an eye 👁️ out for muggers and drug dealers, then the later local bus home, and banged my way out to suburbs as it’s too dark to do the rail trail and after hours riding is supposedly banned though I’m not sure there is a ton of cops out there patrolling the trail, but who knows what sketchy characters hang out there in the pitch black. Got home, had more green pea soup 🍽️ but not too much as it’s made me so gassy. 😲 Some more homemade bread dipped in balsmatic vinger, then as a dessert I cooked down some cranberries 🍒 with Stevia, oatmeal and peanut butter powder as an excellent desert. Totally enjoying cranberries while their a thing in the holiday season, this morning was cranberry pancakes, with some banana, oatmeal, and carrot 🥕 in the mix. Dead asleep by 7:30 under my electric blanket just like a girly man who refuses to turn on the heat, up at 4:30 AM with the Teat Strippers once again 🐮 reading 📖 a book called The Heart of the Homestead. Dreaming of a life in the mountains that smells like cow shit and wood smoke, something like Allegany County minus of course the burn ban and the woke gun laws.
I like to add carrots to nearly every meal as it adds fiber and filling without calories, plus all that beta caratine helps improve my vision 👀. That said, six weeks out of LASIK, my vision at night is excellent, especially at night, with the last symptoms of the procedure – namely the haloes of street lights and headlights fading away – and overly bright, blown out reflective street signs being readable again. It’s amazing both how crystal sharp my day vision is and how much better I see at night. 💩 It seems like such a waste to send such high-quality poop to the landfill, I much prefer burying my shit in the woods, and the humanure handbook is an interesting read, but even a conventional outhouse is a step up from the shit world of burn fossil fuels and landfill everything as we steal from the colored and poor world we all live in.
