Orin: Glad to hear you are on the mend. Take it slow. No reason to fiddle with the healing process.

Maybe a side stand is in your future....

Jack Riepe: What's Miss Kitty teaching those debutantes? You just run into more trouble than any rider I know...

irondad: I intentionally trashed the white balance using a Holga filter. That's something that forces an image to look like it was taken with a $12 plastic toy camera.

Don't ask why I did that.

And not to worry. I haven't figured out how to post while riding yet. *grin*

Mike: I sort of looked at the iPhone as a toy, or at least a phone with toy features. But I see now how useful it is for me — work and play. It is an amazing communication device. A whole platform of tools.

bobskoot: Going slow is a meditation right? Well, maybe not behind a bus…

cpa3485:I hardly ever have the bus problem. Left a little too late. And for some reason the traffic light was slow. Slow enough for me to deglove, get the camera out, shoot, put the camera away, and still wait..

Conchscooter: I hear you. And if Florida is anything like Pennsylvania you don't mess with school buses...

Dear Steve:

Even though I work from home, I get out and ride a loop, just to get stuck behind a school bus. It is the bus from Miss Kitty's Finishing School for Debutantes. I rev the engine and pretend I am trying to pass. The students think I am getting frustrated, and moon me.

Fondest regards,

*Sigh!* It'll be a couple more weeks before I can think about hopping back on the GTS... that's when the sutures come out. What makes it all the more frustrating is, I could ride it in my present state, I just can't put it on the centerstand because my right foot is too tender.

Looks like the white balance on the iPhone needs adjusted! Yeah, like I really know this stuff.

I do know riding, though, If I ever find you've been posting while actually riding I'm going to have to PAY YOU A VISIT!!!

Cheers

Steve:

I have the same problem here with slow diesel school buses. At least in a car you can roll your windows up. If it gets in front of me it goes 20 mpg, so frustrating

I’ve been wanting an iPhone for quite a while but don’t really need one, having a company BlackBerry. iPhones have a lot of cool features and you’re showing another one with the ability to do quick posts from anywhere.

If I don’t get past Sugarloaf school by 6:25 in the morning there is one due who drives 3 miles per hour below the limit (45mph) with an empty bus. My colleagues wonder why I am so keen to be relieved on time.
