Arbitrary, idiotic things on your mind. Post 'em.

Also, fucking bastard drivers. First actual crash on unicycle today. My app shows 42 Kmph with a sudden fall to 0, but I was probably down to 35 by the time the bastard cut me off and forced me into an entrance. A double curb on the other side of the entrance launched me airborne, and I came down bruising a heel, blackening my big toe nail (good thing socks are now OK with sandals), beating the crap out of my wrist guards and scraping the chin on the helmet. It did not "hit" the ground, but it did scrape it a little. I landed on my feet (hence the bruised heel). But you cannot outrun 40 Kmph (or even 35.)

That leads me to my biggest concern (aside from the cracked pedals.) Is a scrape on a helnet seen as sexy? Proof that one has rode hard enough to cause a scrape- or is it seen as a show of weakness that you hit the ground? I'm really concerned with my fashion sense if I show my face in public with a scraped helmet (at least I still have a face to show.)

To anybody how is wondering, my wrist guards took the brunt of the scraping. I got up, checked that I was not broken, got back on the unicycle and did not even look back at the fucker in the car. (Actually I had my hand on his hood keeping myself from getting run over and it was too high for a car. Maybe a SUV?) I figured that I would probably not control my temper if the fucker argued and chose to just keep going without comment.

Yes it is dead sexy, that is a battle scar!  I am relieved you are ok.

Nah. The Việt Minh look is the thing this spring out on the wrong coast. He is just keeping up with the Phams. Wait until you see his new spring hat.

Walks, I had no idea!  You are doubtless thinking of the bucket hat which is now seen everywhere.  However, my own personal Polaris is proposing a simple red beanie, which is thrilling since I am bursting with beanies!  There was a knitting vogue several years ago and, once ladies find out you will actually wear them, you are showered with them.  Not unlike how, if you take up the accordion, all the attics of your extended family will be emptied at the expense of your basement.

I was thinking of one of those puffy, dark green things with the red star in the middle. I think it might look sharp on you with the pipe and all. Not big on beanies but if your flock of women, ever drop one of these babies off and you don't want - give me a kick!

What makes an outfit outdated? Recognizable fads—like message-print T-shirts or early aughts-era no-show socks—are outfit poison, and fallbacks like chinos and shapeless cardigans are cringeworthy relics. A garment’s cut, too, can read “outmoded.” “You don’t want to look like you’re in a jacket from 30 years ago, so updated fits come into play,” said Paul Stuart creative director Ralph Auriemma. He suggested tailored sportswear for a sleeker, modern fit.

As we plan our re-entry outfits, comfort remains a factor, said Tracy Margolies, Saks Fifth Avenue’s chief merchant, “but people want to be stylish.” That’s why stifling skinny jeans, for instance, bow to straight-leg options and roomy denim joggers.

Yes those are flowers in his hair.

As seen today in Rome, Tman is absolutely on-trend.

I have not seen it done with black socks yet. 

Yet. The operative word is yet. You wait- I'm a trend setting fashion beacon.

Oh I believe it!  You left me and my poor skinny jeans behind ages ago.

Wearing 1970's Garanimals pants is on trend?

Helmet scrapes can look bad ass but you have to come by them naturally.

Thanks. Believe me- it was natural.

Excellent. Two votes for not hiding my face in shame. My right heel is quite bruised and sore today. The ankle is not swollen and has full movement- but damn the heel hurts to walk on. While the scratch on the helmet may be dead sexy, I assume that a limp is not. I shall endeavour to walk without showing pain.

Take care of that heel - long term heel issues are something you don't want.

Fortunately I think I have some vintage striped bell-bottoms I can refurbish with my little sewing machine so I am not left out.

Cool. As a consolation for that item being out stock, you can follow the stripes to nirvana if you please.

Thanks. If it does not feel better in a few days, I will get it X-rayed. I don't think there is anything major (I'm hoping.)

Ummm... Wow. That is quite the pair of pants. I wonder if she had any idea when the photo was being taken?

I must confess that I do not own anything in my wardrobe that will allow me to be on the cutting edge of this fashion. I do have a couple of striped terry towels. If the stripes need not match pattern (or colours) I might be able to get a local seamstress to sew them together into some high fashion pantaloons?

*Side note on how my grandparents met in war in Germany. My grandfather passed the local tailor and saw my grandmother in the window. He went in and sucked in his stomach and told her he needed his uniform pants taken in. She did so. He returned with a few more uniform pants for the same service over the next week or two before admitting that he now owned several pairs of pants that were unnaturally tight and that what he really wanted was a date...
