Bikes and Feet

Interesting lunch hour.

BIKES!
While walking to the bank, I noticed that the "American Vehicles Only" rule for government employees doesn't seem to apply to motorcycle cops in this town.  The officer lecturing the careless driver had a very sleek, powerful looking Honda.  I consider motorcycles beautiful, especially the ones designed for speed, and not to try to prove that fat middle-aged businessmen actually have penises.  

I'd almost get a bike, except I remember the thread from yesterday where a motorcyclist was using a 30 year-old study to try to show that helmets do no good in preventing head injuries.  And then I remembered I'm not crazy enough to ride again.


FEET!
The Asian market behind my workplace is very large and nice, and has a huge deli full of well prepared items that look and smell wonderful. But...why does it have a serving bin full of steamed-white chicken feet!?  CHICKEN FEET!  Lying in a pile, all white and pimply and claw-ish...I think I'll stick with the pork buns for lunch; at least I don't know what's in those.

I think I have. I have kind of a love-hate relationship with Harleys, because on the one hand, HD makes some nice bikes, but on the other, I'm too used to people who modify their mufflers to make engine noises LOUDER then drive up and down State Street, where the buildings amplify the noise.
