Wendy

I've been covering Sundance for the last 4 days. Getting around to all the different venues can be a hassle especially when the traffic in Park City brings the bus to a crawl and a 2 min. bus ride takes 20. I met some nice guys at the sporting goods store here in Park City and even though they don't rent bikes in winter they agreed to loan me their winter beater bike for a minimal fee. It has an old Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub and is well insulated with stickers and zip ties. Riding in the snow is exciting and gut wrenching all at the same time. I was told the bikes name is Wendy and already a few of the locals have recognized it around town. I sometimes wonder if they know the owner and think I stole it.

Hooray 3.2!

Seems like this upgrade to Movabletype 3.2 has been successful. I'll celebrate with this entirely random quote.

"It is not a police force which acts like this. They provide no safety, no security. But it may be that I am the stone they stumbled on," Musatov said. "It is time to act. And if we need to cure the state of its sickness, we need to start at the head."
