The SEATs innovative, ergonomic design eliminates the protruding horn or nose found on conventional bicycle seats, providing a significantly more comfortable and healthy ride. For many people, buying a new bike also means shopping for a more comfortable seat. Traditional bike saddles cut off circulation, leading to discomfort and, in some cases, sexual dysfunction.

Just dropping by to clean up (three) ad posts in the last 12 or so hours. Were going to look to relevance, but just ambient mode tonight, so just deleted like the trash it is.

Weather:

- Possible half inch snow on VBVA shores today? <- Real sponsor to laid back attitude in the air tonight.

- Mycast calling for 70% chance of rain, with radar indicating percipitation all about our local, though not on our shoulders, yet. Snow is well west, all the way to the mountains, but, the night is long...

- Bing calling for 85% showers...

- Weather Channel calling for rain/mix, with no significant snow through tonight.

- Looking around the nation's weather, looks like others will be tasting this winter weather event, so we'll be mum, and just try to snap pictures if and when they present themselves.

-- Weather Journal: Snow Plans Late Entrance in Mild Winter

-- Forecasters predict 2 to 4 inches of snow, with a chance of 8 inches in some areas

- Gearing up for next morning photo trek. weather looks to be chilly, but the wind has left town; so that's a positive. have a lunch date, so that rules out bike trek anywhere. headed south by south east yesterday, so that's promotion for north by north west today...

- Deleted out amazon ad posts, for now. he's a busy bot, posting mayhaps four or more times a day; we'll be stiff compition to that, ;)

- Boy, amazon auto-ad bot, you sure keep the page busy, :/ Since we have a moment of rain and wet streets, we'll take this parting moment to try to blend in with all your ad posts.

- Missed out on photo-trek yesterday (020712) due to personal negligence. see @ for an in brief, at the moment fly friendfeed thought passage.

- If anything serves as inspiration to continue rebuttals, refutes, and remarks here, and a daily photo-hike to see whats to be seen. Configured calender for appropiate times, where applicable, circled our on-line spheres (even making a daily email motto post, "read more, post less,"), and will spend these upcoming months for our journey forward. We feel spring in the air, and for no other mojo added into our motive, that'll be enough.

- Weather (one of our hobbies) looks to be windy, but no fear; that just makes the trek pedestrian. Not much to look at by foot, but in the field practice is all she writes there. Already updated weather reports, with first due in @ 2hrs...

- Ongoing jacket debate... Leather vs Mongolian: the leather is a big comfortable lamb skin that feels as if a second skin, while the mongolian is taslan nylon. Only real point of difference discovered so far (other than weather responsibilities, :/) is the mongolian just takes a minute to warm up into, but once your there, your good to go.

- Have interwebz all trimmed and true. As if Spring Cleaning has already taken effect months ago, and looking forward to fall to fatten up for winter link reading. But, nope, just trimmed and true, and not looking to really add any new links into our web; provides more free time for photos, and competing with an ad robot for attention of one, ;)

- Outside, irl check: windy, and leather jacket wins flat out in that enviroment (but, needs to be dry, :/). So, that cancels beach voyage and keep us within our personal stride. Wind rules out Mt T, like that's high on our pic priority list in the depths of winter. Hey everyone, lets look at a heap of trash, covered in dirt, with dead-spotty grass that never wanted to grow there. Would be nice if we could find our, just ours, little breakfast nook where we could hole up on windy, rainy, days, while we read our newspapers and emails. We're looking... Everything round here, close by, is all chain-afflicted, and that rules them out by definition of rules.

figured @ time to talk back to the ad bot

2012-02-07T04:00:00.002-05:00

-- Hey, hows it going? i took what i could take from the ad bot hijacking the fine print and runing rambant on my blog to answer back; it thinks it knows my shopping preferences so well.

-- Well, you dont.

-- I'm a bum, and imma not seeing you post links to to much free stuff; and to mention, when you click on an amazon ad posted in hereabouts, the cost is always more than whats stated in the ad, :(

-- True, you nailed me about biking, but a beach cruiser is my wheels, so replacement cables, brake pads, et most, not of my shopping sphere.

So, other areas of interest to spread your data base profile out: tonight we did a double decker of movies thanks up to netflix. The Prison Tapes x Tupac (props to youtube for providing), and Even The Rain (cause it was supposed to rain today, but thats blown by by now). Feedback will follow? The Tupac Tape spoke allot of truth, glad to have watched, he was a prophet of his own life.

-- Today, weather willing, we'll journey down to the beach, just cause she's calling. no better time of year to visit; no tourists, no traffic, no trouble. Spent our Monday doing mandatory things, so all fresh and willing to hit the road. Thanks to Goggle Maps for presenting bus times to make this transit all that much simpler. Weather might be upper 50f's, with minimal winds from wherever. Still having personal debates about which jacket is meant for the mission. Really one is a day jacket, other a night, but really wind be whining for other reasons.

-- well, off to finish even the rain...
