Flying Man

I had to deal with a bunch of crappy things today, but I didn't let any of them get me down and I am still feeling chipper.

I had an extra long class with the preschoolers.  Got some paperwork done within a 1/2 hour of being asked for it.  Received a nice note from an unexpected source.  Did some overall organizing to set myself up for success in the future.

Followed the flying bike guy down the mountain today.  Friday he angered me because he rides down the center of the lane, no handed, with his hands in the air like he is flying and nobody can pass him.  Plus it seems for sure like he is going to kill himself.  Today I enjoyed his flight.  I think he might do it daily.

The oil in my car needs to be changed, but since the bank has all of my money "on hold" and won't let me access any cash, I am waiting.  I could pay over $50 at a place that accepts credit cards.  But I'd rather wait until this is all straightened out and pay my mechanic in cash to do it for half the price.

I also have to renew my residency card within the next ten days.  The stupid bank still can't tell me why they placed a hold on my account.  All they keep saying is maybe I tried to use the wrong password too many times.  But I don't remember ever trying to use the wrong password at all.  I can't wait until the day that USBank no longer has a penny of my money.


Here's a picture of the flying man.  It's the best I could do while driving.  Bystanders enjoy him too.  When he is not flying he is in what a skier would call "tuck position" trying to pick up speed after the sharp corners.  He also has what I call "prayer position" where he sticks both arms up in the air and centers himself with his hands palm to palm over his head.  That's the way he was riding when I first saw him.  I wonder how he gets back UP the mountain?
