Attention potential tourists considering a visit to the front range. If you insist on going to the top of Pikes Peak then make sure you buy an extra seat. The cog railway cars are packed tighter than sardines, ninety minutes of this trip leaves you for thirty minutes at the summit followed by another extended ride back to Manitou Springs.
For twenty eight bucks, one would think the seating arrangement would be commodious to all passengers. Despite the fact that I'm a fatty, the seating arrangement was uncomfortable and I would say that was the worst part of the journey.
raddidge says, "What about me? Am I not a fatty too? Write it in there!"
Oy gevalt, my thigh hurts from being jammed under the armrest and that made me lean to the right and cramped up the left side of my chest. Thankfully the cure for the discomfort came in the way of going to Wild Ginger. Of course that only served to emphasize the fatness.
For those of you who give a shit, eventually I'll get around to posting pictures from the past month. Right now I have photos from the Colorado State Fair and Foam Fest, phoots of my bike and the pics from the summit of Pikes Peak.
Thinking nostalgically back to my time in Jersey, there is a radio station called Z-100 which would always say "FROM THE TOP OF THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING". Seriously, radio stations out here in Colorado Springs could do something like that "FROM THE TOP OF PIKES PEAK".
Just sayin'.

Someday, we will be able to connect to the internet using our brains. Some sort of bluetooth interface directly plugged into the back of our necks.
I had a dream last night where Lambda got a large influx of people. At one point, I posted to *chat about it.
If we were able to connect to the internet using our brains, you could read the post right now.
