It must be spring. When it starts getting warm, people hit the sidewalks of Accordion City more often and my bike trips to and from work become like the opening scene from Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure,

with me biking down the street to or from work and a near-perfect

guarantee that at least one person will wave “Hey, Joey!” or “Yo,

Accordion Guy!” en route.

For no other reason that to celebrate the fact that it’s highly

unlikely that we’re going to see snow for many months, here’s a photo

of my trusty bike, The Scorpion King, after the last serious snowstorm hit town in March:
