idle days

The sign has a list of rules to follow while you are in the parking of 711. Most of them are common sense and you would follow them whether they were posted or not. Making noise for example. How many people do you know go to a 711 in the suburbs late at night and start screaming or setting off fireworks? Not too many I hope. We had our post ride beer and laughed at how it would be fun to adjust the sign with lewd comments or change the pictures etc. The background music to our conversation was the loud idling of a truck while the driver was inside slaving over the microwaves provided to make his supper. He must have been rick to let a behemoth of a vehicle like that run unattended because gas prices are getting higher and higher everyday. After preparing his tasty cup noodle and sticky rice he came out to chow down while sitting in the driver's seat. I half expected him to have a beer with his meal because he seemed like the kind of person who wasn't content with just breaking one rule. We continued talking about how it would best if we did a 100km ride before November so we would be in shape for the winter to come.


After ditching our juice bottles and cans we decided to head to out to around the neighbourhood to see if there were any other interesting things around. It was then that we noticed that Goldilocks had thought it best to have a little post nosh nap. At this point in time the truck had been running for just under an hour. Sweet. With all the ECO life and save the world garbage floating around in the media today I was glad to see that not everybody is buying the hype.
