Nunc est bibendum / Cycling / Empty street

Nunc est bibendum

Clearly, I have not been drinking enough this year. Not drinking drains my energy and creativity. So, I will now (3pm) open a bottle of white wine. Then I will drink some wine, not just sip but drink, the way we do in Finland (but not like were drank when we were 16-19: two bottles, the first one in less than 10 minutes, then the second during the next hour). Now, it may take an hour. The first one. And just to let you know, I cycled 2 hours, and will do some writing for our Systems Engineering assignment. It is just the thing to do while drinking. Try it - you will be surprised. I have invented two of my patents while drinking. Teetotallers beware. I also do recommend Tramal for increasing creativity. But one cannot easily get in it in USA. In China, it was available over the counter in drugstores. Not bad.

Cycling

So, I cycled for 2 hours around southern Boston. Boston is a nice place to cycle: countless small roads, street and alleys to explore, no significant traffic (almost empty streets), and very polite car drivers. The poor area as OK, the rich ones are not: one cannot even buy a bottle of Coke in the rich areas. There are no shops, no kiosks, not gas stations. I cannot understand how anyone can live in such a deserted areas. And the houses are too large, too closed, too expensive.

Empty street

I thought, that Beacon street would be no-parking-zone today. That's what the signs promised. Pah! The cars are still here. Boring. And no Ferraris, at least none driving when we were having dinner outside on the stairs. I felt like Aidan from "Sex and the city" except that I was more handsome. But still no Ferraris. I just love the sound of an accelerating Ferrari. Fortunately, S was with me. Log(S)-Log(Ferrari) = 6. At least. We are still listening to Rammstein.
