bike rescue

tonight we went to the troy bike rescue. moved. i was moved. i have never been made to feel more comfortable in an unfamiliar situation as i was at this beautiful engagement. at first i was a little cold water about it. then, as soon as i let go of any regard to how i think people would react to me and me to them i was welcomed. beautifully.




i ran into someone i have met a slim handle of times. we reintroduced ourselves and he continued to work on, what i found out to be, a hot little commodity.

mike and i grabbed a bike and started to try and find its bruise. i was soon distracted and eager to find out what everyone else was finagling with.

polishing a frame for trust fund kids in the city. to rebuilding that thing that makes the gears move up and down. a. ummmmm..... you know a.....tension thingy. ( i will get back to you on that)

everyone answered all of my questions about whats that. this. why is. what for. such a sweet group of people.

i had the privilege to share my knowledge of children when four neighborhood kids came with their bikes. i got to help fix a flat tire with the patches i found (with help) on the right side of the thirdish shelf down in a little shed surrounded by took apart. pieced together and apart again bikes.

i was o'fish invited to participate in a, what did they call it, synchronized bike ride at fresnos tomorrow.

if i am not to tired from blogging too late. i think i may join my new friends for what i would only expect to be a welcoming and beautiful date.
