exhalations

Decided to drive out to Berryville, VA for a ride in the country yesterday. It was a good day to ride, a little cool and overcast. About half way through the ride I looked down and noticed that my bottom bracket was coming loose. I couldn't tighten it by hand, so we cut the ride short. I went right to the bike shop and the mechanic, who knew that his shop had built the bike from scratch, fixed it for no charge. Luckily the threads were not stripped which was my biggest concern.

Visited Berryville Used Books, the smallest used bookstore I've ever seen. It carries mostly history, but I found a couple of gems: How Prints Look by William Ivins, Jr., a small book filled with examples of printing techniques with a brief commentary below each, and Collected Stories by Paul Bowles, a beautiful paperback published by Black Sparrow Press.
