"A road bike sits outside of the Safeway grocery store located at Evans Ave. and Downing St. in Denver, Colo. Monday, April 14, 2008. Manual transportation has become more appealing as unleaded fuel has reached an average of $3.31/gallon in the state."
I stopped at Safeway to grab some lunch before heading to class and of course my day just had to start off the wrong way. When I came out and got in my car it wouldn't start. The battery wasn't dead but the ignition wouldn't even turn over at all. My 1996 Honda Accord has been around the block a few times and it has done this before. Usually after a few tries it starts but today I had no such luck. I could have just walked from there to class but I just wasn't in the mood. After a few calls I got in touch with one of the girls in my class and group to come pick me up.
After class I couldn't find a ride so I had to walk back to my car. Sure enough when I got back the car started on the fourth try. Go figure.
All this drama prevented me from crusin so I will have to settle with the image of the bike that I made. Maybe it's trying to tell me that I should be riding a bike instead of driving. I live wayyyy too far from school for that.
I really have to get out this rut because I don't know if I'll make it to graduation producing weak images like this for the next seven weeks.
