and you think the stock marked burst.....

I was running late today when I realized I had a flat. The first thing that occurred to me was that this is the first flat I've had on my front tire. The other four flats I've had were all on my rear tire. The second thing that occurred to me was that I was going to be really late for work. I looked at the clock and decided my best option was to take a mulligan and drive in to work. It's kind of strange driving to work when it's not in your normal routine. It seems like you have to spend so much more time reacting to elements that you don't feel connected to, because they're outside of your car. I don't usually ride my bike in the lane of traffic so I speed up or slow down as I see fit. Some times I just dope along, other times I feel like launching off a couple of bumps in the road. Driving a car you are just in line with everyone else. They break, so you break. You break, so they break. They break again, you give them the finger. They speed up, you slam on your breaks, they give you the finger.
