chilly cycling

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2011.09.16

Summer's gone, that's for sure: already I'm cycling to work in my Autumn sweatpants, long since hopeless stained with chain oil.

Tonight on the way home from work I stopped to pick up half a dozen cans of "Zevia" cola, which I'm enjoying as a sugar- and aspartame-free variety of my favourite cold delivery system for caffeine. It was just about the right temperature for cycling by the time I was heading home, with lovely pre-dusk colours and a dry cool temperature. Prematurely cool or not, sometimes the weather's really great in this city.

Satire is tragedy plus time. You give it enough time, the public, the reviewers will allow you to satirize it. Which is rather ridiculous, when you think about it.
