What stuns me most about contemporary politics is not even that the system has been so badly corrupted by money. It is that so few people get the connection between their lives and what the bozos do in Washington and our state capitols. Politics is not a picture on a wall or a television sitcom that you can decide you don't much care for.
This was a failed attempt at the weekly theme (actually, none of them were successful!) but there's something about the ghosting on this that I really like.
As some background, this is Matilda's first week to ride a bike without stabalizers!! We're all so proud!
My point-and-shoot got either lost or stolen this week. I'm quite distressed, more by the shots I lost than the camera itself (although I did love it). I have a baby due in a couple weeks so had to run out and get a replacement fast -- particularly since my DSLR doesn't do video.

Gyroscopic forces are not required for a rider to balance a bicycle. Although gyroscopic forces are a factor, the stability of a bicycle is determined primarily by inertia, steering geometry, and the rider's ability to counteract tilting by steering.
