Snow in Portland
I think that people in Portland are not used to snowy conditions. It is clear that cyclists are not safe on the streets when these drivers are in their car.

man of the year !
I opened my mailbox and thought that my brother was to be elected as the “man of the year 2006” ! But it turned out to be a nice powerpoint presentation that shows that a cyclist among us has been elected. I don’t know who were in the jury, but I have a feeling

storm
A short video of our back garden in the storm today. The trees in our neighbour’s garden are a great defence against the storms coming from the south-west . Rea and Mo had to stay inside and were looking through the window.

last day
Rea had her last day at her trainee post. After learning and working for one year, everybody thought she was a colleague instead of a student. She learned a lot at her trainee post, but also changed from a teenager into a grown-up with adult behaviour.

commuting with a colleague
It was warm and dry yesterday. So a lot of bicyclists were out on the cycle-paths. A colleague of me also went to our work on his bicycle. I planned to practise with my photocamera and wanted to know how the video- mode would work while cycling on my bent. So here is the result 😉

a new microwave
We needed a new microwave. Now we not only have a new microwave, but also a new mirror in our kitchen. So the Sharp becomes unsharp 😉

cooking
While I just sit at the table in our kitchen (doing nothing really, just playing with this blog), my daughter is busy cooking a fine dinner for us. At the moment there is very bad weather in the Netherlands; storms up to 110 km/h.

VK 2
I think that this movie gives a good expression of the feeling I get on my recumbent. Unfortunately I do not own a videocamera to make my own movies, but if I had one it would look the same.

homologation
I just got these homologations (200 and 300 km’s) by “slow-mail” yesterday. The guys from AUDAX expect you to do the brevet on your bicycle in the shortest possible time, but then it takes them almost 2 years to send the homologation ! I like the French, nobody gets them speedy exept when they’re on

the most beautifull card I got too late.
I found out that I missed a christmas-card. My niece told me on yahoo that she send me a card, but I never saw it. So she send it a second time. What a card ! A lot of work with Photoshop and it was taken in a house that was designed by a nephew of

market failure !
The science tells us that GHG emissions are an externality; in other words, our emissions affect the lives of others. When people do not pay for the consequences of their actions we have market failure. This is the greatest market failure the world has seen. – former World Bank chief economist Sir Nicholas Stern, 2006.

Darby was here !
Darby & Tammy visited us. It was a nice time and we had a lot of good conversations. Darby called it “The travellers emergency kit for Holland”. He forgot to take it with him, when he left. But I think it isn’t wise to take stuff like this in your hand-luggage on a airplane to
