I have installed an interesting application – BlogJet. It’s a cool Windows client for my blog tool (as well as for other tools). Get your copy here: http://blogjet.com

Join me in participating in . . The Fourth Wurst Bicycle Ride in Evansville Indiana (across Ohio River from Henderson KY)!
"You thought last year was the wurst, but the wurst bicycle ride EVER starts at 9:30 a.m. this Saturday (May 22, 2010) at Burdette Park near the BMX track.
Many of the Discovery Trail Bike Routes are very easy, so it’s great for beginning riders as well as experienced bicyclist.
Options range from 6 miles to 33, flat to hilly.
After the ride, stick around for brats, hot dogs, chips and drinks. All compliments of Dan’s Competition Bicycle Shop and Royal Crown Cola.
Best of all–Its FREE!
Spread the word and bring your friends, family, neighbors!"
May is National Bicycle Month and cities and towns all around are promoting bicycling.
Join me and others that have signed a pledge to support more people on bicycles. You could win a bicycle!
The pledge is simple but profound:
“I am for bikes. I’m for long rides and short rides. I’m for commuting to work, weekend rides, racing, riding to school, or just a quick spin around the block. I believe that no matter how I ride, biking makes me happy and is great for my health, my community and the environment we all share. That is why I am pledging my name in support of a better future for bicycling — one that is safe and fun for everyone. By uniting my voice with a million others, I believe that we can make our world a better place to ride.”
When is the last time you rode a bicycle?
Recently, I was filling up my vehicle at Thornton’s Gas Superstore here in Henderson KY I realized that I needed to get some cash out of the ATM inside the gas super center. As I was walking into the store I heard over the outdoor loudspeaker “Sir on pump number 3 do not leave your vehicle”. I was a little embarrassed.
I immediately wanted to mouth something, like “I do it all the time and besides, I’m in a hurry”, but I didn’t- I quietly and positively went back to my vehicle until the gas had finished pumping.
I really wasn’t in a huge hurry, but I felt the need to do multi-tasking (get money from ATM while the vehicle is filling up with gas). Sometimes I just need to stop and do one thing.
The pump plainly had a sign on it that said “Warning, please do not leave pump unattended” and “not responsible for charges relating to overfills”.
Does multi-tasking make us feel as if we don’t have to follow direct?
Why is it when we see clear directions, we sometimes don’t want to follow them and immediately mouth our reason why we are not following them?
I just want to work on this and try to follow directions more closely especially the little ones. Who knows it could bring about some positive change?
