Thursdy-Thursdays

Philadelphia is mired in one of the greatest heat waves that has ever been felt in such an early month of spring.  Naturally, many Philadelphians have pulled their bikes, scooters, and motorcycles out of winter hibernation and have scrambled to get them road-worthy to take advantage of the ungodly hotness available outside.  Being an incredibly macho (or perhaps impulsive and reckless) biker / scooterist / motorcyclist there were no cobwebs to remove from any of my trusty steeds with the advent of the nice weather.  Having braved the incredibly snowy winter of 2010 astride my trusty Ruckus, the only indicator of the changed season is a massive amount of salty road-grime besotting the whole undercarriage of the scooter, which will probably rinse away once more of April's famous showers drench Philly's streets.

Let me make an excuse for my writing under this derivative pseudonym.  I decided one day a while ago that I would much rather spend my idle time writing for my own blog rather than reading the blogs of others.  I have read probably all of the renowned bsnyc's blog posts, and I probably will continue to read them, but my brain grows mushy and weak, and my work does not provide it sufficient stimulation to keep it from turning into so many pudding snacks.  Thus bsphl was born.  I was initially surprised that there wasn't some enterprising philadelphian who had already taken the name.  I will happily take up the cause and rep philladelphia as the bikesnob.

Hate if you must, just for the love of god don't race to post inane comments like 1st top 10 podium etc.  Too much of the internet is already comprised of substance lacking blather.
