Today's Sermon: Bikes, Man

I was yelled at today. It was on my way home from school. I was waiting for the light and I heard this frenzied, high pitch "YEAH, MAN! BIKES, MAN!" I turned to the car next to me, all the windows down and the driver was leaning over just to yell at me. In his enthusiasm he nearly tipped over his Dutch Brothers coffee cup. "YEAH! WHAT IF WE ALL GREW OUR OWN FOOD AND RODE BIKES! WHAT A BETTER WORLD IT WOULD BE! RIGHT? YEAH! RIGHT? LOOK AT THIS CAR" He was driving a Chevy Cavalier (I think) painted with alternate splotches of primer gray and Bondo. "WHO NEEDS IT?" he yelled as he turned in front of me, cutting me off at the light. "THIS CAR IS A PIECE OF SHIT!"

Amen brother.
