They have a collection of antique bicycles (the kind that have a 4+' tall front wheel, 1' rear wheel)...

I believe those are called "Penny Farthings"

Any The Prisoner fans around here?

not talking about slums here but the 1 bedroom place I was at was a condo, it was $150,000 when I got it, sold it for a little more than this while the side of the building was advertising $170k last year + a few months. the same places now are going for 77-85k! I am glad I got out when I did!

For historical reference, my first post in Teh Box was quite appropriate. I made it from the ORD penalty box.

If you are looking to learn Texas Hold 'Em, there are no better books to pick up than those of Ken Warren, this being his intro course for novice players.

I am feeling strangely discombobulated tonight.

MrBrit skeedaddled off the LHR this morning, and it is surprisingly strange to be home alone with the girls.

Normally it is I that is out flying the skies and he is home. His job does not demand any form of travel, unlike mine. Hence, it is rather strange to think that I will be sleeping alone in my own bed tonight rather than a hotel bed.

Very peculiar.

I don't think I like it very much.

I love the transition-point when next-year's flight calendar starts to fill in properly. It came late this year, but it's finally looking up. Hopefully can haz Gold sewn up by around the end of February.

That is one name that they are referred to as. Also called "ordinary" or "high wheeler". They have one that's got a 60" front wheel.

I learned to ride a 42" when I was younger. It's not easy.
