winter tires for your bike

I saw this kid riding his bike. It had regular tires in the spot that regular tires would be placed on the average bicycle.

On the handle bars were two MUCH larger tires. Probably ones for a truck or something.

Now, I know it's almost time to put the winter tires on my car. But will these tires work on a bicycle? I mean, could they possibly fit?

If you CAN actually get winter tires for your bike that ARE the size of truck tires, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

Imagine all the places you could bicycle! Like, to the top of Mount Rushmore!

Maybe even through the Peppermint Forest to the top of the Gumdrop Mountains!

And trust me, THAT is hard! Unless you're lucky enough to get through the Rainbow Trail. Which I never get. I think Queen Frostine uses magic to curse me. She never liked me after that mishap with Gloppy.

I don't know if I would actually like to drive a bicycle in the winter. That seems cold. Unless I could get a heater on it. Maybe heated handle bars? And the seat?

And a helmet! With heat!

I'm liking this! I could totally rule the bike path in the winter!

I would plow right by Queen Frostine with Gramma Nut in my sidecar! Since my bicycle would have a sidecar. Also heated.

That's how I roll. Heated and largely-tired.

I'm off to purchase a bicycle.

Enjoy Everything.

ice cold beverages

Why do they still advertise stuff being "ice cold?" Is that really a draw?

There was a commercial for a food place that said you should get "fries and an ice cold" soda!

ICE COLD! Because they have ice to make it cold!

Now, I know there was a time before ice was invented that people could only get cold beverages during the winter months. And that was ONLY when they drank them outdoors!

But ice was invented a long time ago! At least 30 years ago! You can't throw a jar of mustard without hitting ice these days!

This might be because ice is so prevalent that throwing anything will hit it. It might also be because I throw mustard around every time I go to the supermarket and it eventually hits one of those big bags of ice that they keep in the freezer section.

Oh, and I only throw the dijon kind. Because, you know, I'm a fan of French stuff.

Did you know that Alexandre Gustave Eiffel was born in Dijon? Yep. He ALMOST made the Mustard Tower. But did not. Because it wasn't his name.

ALSO! Dijon, France has the International and Gastronomic Fair every year! Which sounds gross, but isn't. Gastronomy is actually the "art or science of eating food." Yep. It's like astronomy, but with a "G." Both have gasses, but different kids.

That's a disgusting joke and I apologize for it.

Luckily, in Dijon, and the rest of the world, if you want an "ice cold" jar of mustard, you can have that. Because we have things like freezers and refrigerators.

It's like promoting that you have doors.

"Come to our store! We have doors! You can actually walk inside and keep the wildebeest out!"

Okay...that does sound like a great store. If only they had ice.

I'm off to throw mustard at frozen foods.

Enjoy Everything.
