In the middle of the journey of my life, I am--as always--a woman on a bike. Although I do not know where this road will lead, the way is not lost, for I have arrived here. And I am on my bicycle, again.
I am Justine Valinotti.

When Does Size Matter?
If something has two wheels and pedals, and nobody rides it, is it still a bicycle? What if it's too small for anybody to ride? I got to thinking about those questions when I saw this sign:
Can something be "extra large" or "jumbo" and still be a shrimp?
I'm picturing an elementary school teacher with a desk drawer full of these things like with the fidget spinner craze of last year.😃
ReplyDeleteThe tiny bicycle toy is pretty cool. I hope it comes with a large bag of tiny spare parts.
ReplyDelete"Jumbo shrimp" is always funny but the word "shrimps" is like fingernails on a blackboard to me.
That chainline looked way off!
ReplyDeletePhillip--It does sort of look like one of those things, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteLouis--Spare parts? Would they be ISO threaded?
Fingernails on a blackboard--brings me back to the nuns in my Catholic school!
Coline--Maybe they couldn't find the right bottom bracket axle.
There are a lot of deers and sheeps that live near my home, but shrimps are only at the market:/
ReplyDeleteChris--"Deers" are too many for me. One "dear" has always been enough--sometimes too much!--for me.
ReplyDeleteAre you saying that only short people shop at your market?
