Schwinn 12 Bike

I was talking cars recently with Catherine Lutz, an anthropology professor at Brown University. This wasn’t the usual gear-headed chitchat. We were talking about bicycles.

Lutz and her sister Anne Lutz Fernandez co-authored “Carjacked: The Culture of the Automobile and Its Effect on Our Lives,” which was published early this year. The book, which I plan to review shortly, looks at how car culture takes over our daily routines and how we might wrest back some of that control. It includes a “12-step program for car addicts” — a term I fear describes many of us. Steps include downsizing vehicles, working from home and using public transit. But the suggestion to  ride bicycles to work and on errands stuck out.

I stopped into the Sub-Office in Kumasi today, and although this facility is the closest thing to civilization, we have couches and even our own internet without any charge.  But still it feels like a ‘constant fight’ against the internet.  The internet will be up, and then down for 30 minutes, or 6 hours, or 2 weeks without any sign.  The few PCV’s that are around when something like this happens just sit around hitting the refresh button….hoping…..usually its just a frustrating time without any success.  I’m still desperately trying to upload a few pics, hell even one pic, but it is just so damn frustrating, so bear with me.

Yesterday I had a heck of an experience talking to my ‘small boy’ as we call it in Ghana.  Basically most adults either have kids, or have some kid(s) who really take to them and kind of linger around wanting to help with absolutely everything.  Jacob is my small boy, and he is 16, and is in Senior High School in Bekwai, but lives in my town.  I guess his dad is the PTA chairman of the school, and the kid really impresses me in some ways.  He knows how to type with his hands on the homerow keys, he has taken some DOS classes, and other software classes, so he understands computers somewhat, and he’s really interested in learning more.  He’s already bugging me to teach him some ‘computer’ in Bekwai, which I have already and plan to some more, actually I plan on teaching a little tonight on my way home through Bekwai.  We started talking about random things that he had questions about.  He asked about the disaster in 2001 in America, and I explained to him as eloquently as possible, the concept of terrorists, and War, and all kinds of things that this kid has never ever had to think about.  We started talking about the U.S. and then geography came up, and he had told me that he had never seen a map of the world.  He was telling me all kinds of facts that his teachers taught him:

I bought a Schwinn bike 12 comp function. not long ago and accidentally reset. I lost the booklet of original programming and do not know what the numbers represent beginning. It 4 numbers in the column.

is the distance your hubcaps for a ride, in millimeters.

It's a matter of habit, anyway.
