I Hate Goatheads

I finally get to live in a house that’s close enough to work for me to ride my bike and what happens?  Attack of the Goatheads.  For those not familiar, goatheads are these stupid little thorns that seemingly have no purpose but to puncture tires.

Halfway through my bike ride (on my brand new bike mind you), I look down at my front tire and realize that either I have a flat or I’m just a lot heavier than I think I am.  Sure enough, goatheads in my front tire.  So now I have to drive to work instead, which means I have to take time out of my day to exercise, which means less time to do whatever it is that I do when I’m not working.

Yiddish Word of the Moment:

Mashugana
Definition:  Crazy.  Typically used to discribe someone rather than something.
Example:  Oy, did you see that mashugana lady pushing her cat in a stroller?
