After weeks of cold and wet, today was really nice outside. My bicycle had its chain cleaned and lubed for a quite noticeable improvement in performance. I am amazed at how much easier it is to pedal the bicycle afterwards compared to before the chain was cleaned and lubed. Some people in passing cars waved and honked at me when they saw me riding the bicycle while playing guitar.
I rode to the store to get something. First a little dog chased me and tried to bite me. I kicked at it, twice, then turned the bicycle and chased the little dog back to its yard. A few blocks on, a little kid (about ten years old) chased me yelling "Give me that guitar" and "I want to kill you." As before, I turned and rode back towards him. He and his friends gathered around and I played a couple of riffs on the guitar for them. He said he wanted to steal the guitar. I told him I hope he gets one someday. He might be a great rocker.
