“it’ll take you forever to retire if you keep wasting money on cars. He estimates it costs a person $125,000 and 1.3 working years’ worth of time to drive 19 miles each way to work. Living so far from work that you “need” to drive is a result of bad planning”

“Snap-on shoes. Shaved legs. Bright-colored jersey over Lycra bibs. Any deviation from that look could subject a cyclist to howls. He even might be called a “Fred”—cycling lingo for loser. Getting it all right would still elicit snickers if he called the outfit a uniform. It’s a kit. Got it, Fred?”

“Worse, file-sharing had rendered us, the knowledge guardians, irrelevant. Within a few years, knowledge had ceased to confer any distinction, and hoarding it had become about as socially advantageous as stamp collecting. Thanks to the Internet, cultural knowledge was now a collective resource. Which meant that being cool was no longer about what you knew and what other people didn’t. It was about what you had to say about the things that everyone already knew about.”

I miss going on road trips without cell phones. No phone but a pay phone, and no one you would call to tell about what you’d done, because what happens in a world without phones and cameras and computers and video cameras stays in a world without such things. No camera but a disposable, or an old…

With his back against the San Francisco traffic,
On the bridge’s side that faces t’wards the jail,
Setting out to join a demographic,
He hoists his first leg up over the rail.

And a phone call is made,
Police cars show up quickly.
The sergeant slams his passenger door.
He says, Hey son why don’t you talk through this with me,
Just tell me what you’re doing it for.

Oh, it’s a little bit of everything,
It’s the mountains,
It’s the fog,
It’s the news at six o’clock,
It’s the death of my first dog,
It’s the angels up above me,
It’s the song that they don’t sing,
It’s a little bit of everything.
