Another beautiful sunny afternoon
Sorry Uncle Pilo, Paul and I decided to leave the office early for a bike ride.
We took the usual route, from the 55th avenue in Lachine to the Old
Port of Montreal and back .
Tomorrow looks like another beautiful day, lots of sun in the
forecast, no rain or clouds, and best of all, the high will be 21C.
Yehey!!
We were planning to head straight to the Atwater bike shop to pick up
Pilo's old but now resurrected 1982 Peugeot. We opted instead to head
home after our ride and will go downtown later in the afternoon in
order to avoid the rush hour traffic.
Paul's runaway bike about to make a "giant" splash :)

Amazing Race 5, Chip and Kim: Real winners - INQ7.net
Chip and Kim: Real winners - INQ7.net
ANY day now, Season 6 of "The Amazing Race," which bested older and better-rating "reality" shows in the last Emmy Awards, will open with a whole new set of contestants, a whole new itinerary and new challenges.
Producers, though, are keeping mum about any possible innovations they might introduce, like the infamous "Yield" that made the final episodes of "AR5" so exciting. There still isn't any word, either about the destinations the teams might be visiting. If you will recall, Filipinos followed Season 5 with feverish devotion because the Philippines was included in the itinerary, and as it turned out, the episodes shot in Manila, Cavite, Laguna and Lagen Island in El Nido, Palawan were some of the most intense and tension-filled during the entire season.

Let's remember Kelly Ann Drummond in our prayers
Kelly Ann Drummond, 24, succumbed last night to wounds suffered when she was attacked in a Pierrefonds apartment Sunday night.
Martin Morin-Cousineau, 30, appeared in Quebec Court yesterday afternoon and was charged with attempting to murder Drummond. He would return to court today to face a charge of second-degree murder, Constable Miguel Alston, a police spokesperson, said yesterday.
An ambulance was called to an apartment block on Pierrefonds Blvd., near Nanterre St., where they found Drummond in cardiac arrest.
She had been stabbed in the back.
The two incidents occurred a week after Statistics Canada released a report indicating the spousal homicide rate in the country dropped by eight per cent in 2003. Last year in Canada, 64 men killed their wives and 14 women killed their husbands.
Yesterday's deaths were the 33rd and 34th homicides reported in Montreal this year. There were 34 reported during the corresponding period last year.
pcherry@thegazette.canwest.com
======
Kelly Ann was Pam's classmate in Elementary school, going back to their Kindergarten grade. They both went to the same high school as well.
I drove Pam and Allen last night to the Montreal General Hospital. Pam was able to see Kelly Ann at the ICU. She was already brain dead then. Kelly Ann passed away early this morning.
Pam did not go to work today to meet with other former classmates (Sabrina and others) to help in contacting other former classmates and teachers, to let them know about the funeral / memorial service.
Ironic for us who knew Tammy Shaikh, who was beaten and stabbed to death by her former husband, Tommy Kane, whose (Tommy's) case in the court is just winding down towards his sentencing, and here, again, we hear and read another story of violence against women.
God bless you as you pray.
Tommy's sentencing

Cocococollllllllllllllllld!! Tita Nil (Mommy) where are our booties and cycling tights, jackets???
I thank God for my beloved, patient, better than better half :)
If you need anything here at home and you can't find it, "ask your mommy".
Paul: "mom, where's my cycling jacket, cycling tights, you know, the long ones from MEC?"
Paul: "mom, have you seen my booties, you know, the thing that I wear over my cycling shoes? It's cold tonight and I'm afraid my feet may freeze out there"
Paul and I went for a quick, short ride.
When Pauly rides, to warm up, he cranks it up, I mean, he wants to go zooooom!
I prefer to take my time, knowing myself well, my limits, etc. (siempre, medyo may edad na), particularly tonight, with the temperature at 8C (before any windchill factor), relax lang, easy does it.
Maybe Paul's system is better, he gets warmed up much faster, siguro.
By the way, nice thing about the cold weather is there's hardly any traffic on the bike path.
Anyway pretty soon I'm able to keep up with Paul, jogging on my pedals (you can say I was standing on my pedals- it felt like running), starting to sweat. Sweat tells me, I guess, that I'm ready to shift to a higher, faster gear, which I did.
Lights, flashers, action! Definitely you need them, specially here in our area of Pierrefonds, where some streets do not have street lamps and where some potholes await the unsuspecting rider.
By the time we got home, after about 25kms in the cold weather, we, as always, were glad we went out and rode, even for less than an hour. Main thing is consistency.
My feet, even with the neoprene boots, got cold eventually. Thank you T.Nil for the foot massage.

Slow down you move too fast
I've been reminded of a Simon and Garfunkel song, "Feelin Groovy"
Slow down, you move too fast
You've got to make the morning last
Just kickin' down the cobble stones
Looking for fun and feelin' groovy!
(La,la,la,la,la,la, feelin' groovy)
I think that once in awhile we should slow down and look around us, enjoy the view, smell the St.Lawrence river:)
Look at us a few years ago. We were content at doing 20kph, when we hit 25kph we thought we were pretty fast. Our bikes weren't fancy, our clothing were just our everyday, regular warm weather or fall variety. Hmmmmm....

Night Riders
It's been awhile back since we rode together at night.
May I suggest we bring our bikes to Pidong's this Saturday night and
ride along the bike path close to their place, before dinner?
I've got my nightstick batteries charged. Marv and Pilo could also
bring their headlights.
Check out this earlier photo of our group:

Lachine Canal Bike Path By Night
Heading home, still a little bit of sunlight left, but I don't want to stay later than 7pm, or else, without my vistalite nightstick headlight, I may end up either in the Lachine Canal or Lac St.Louis :)
Bugs were out en force, surprising because of the cooler temperature- the bugs were probably wearing their fall jackets or windbreakers .
A small demerit from the EEG Biking Society was in order for Uncle Phil for not having his front and rear light flashers. An appeal may be made to the board this weekend. For a favorable review please bring with you a dozen siopaos or a caramel cake.
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Entrance to Rene Levesque Park, corner of St. Patrick Blvd. and St.Joseph Blvd (which becomes Lasalle Blvd shortly thereafter)

Where have all your boats gone?
The Fall season comes to the Old Port of Montreal Marina - very few boats docked in the marina today
Pilo and I checked out this Boat Cruise. We'd like to take our sweetie hearts for a dinner cruise sometime soon. Better be soon, they'll be operating up to mid-October only
Habitat 67
House of Cubes- Habitat 67
It was a cool late afternoon; when I got to my car the temperature display showed 12C, add the windchill factor to that, no wonder my feet were freezing :)

We have a jumper, call 6-13, quick :)
Choose wisely - 1) jump on to my saddle or 2) jump into the fast moving St. Lawrence River below
Pilo, don't jump, we found your missing mavic equipe rim you lost somewhere in mont st-anne :)
Something to Blog about- today's "Chain Tattoo"
Pilo and I met up at the 55th bike stop and rode to Ile Notre Dame, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Old Port of Montreal and back to Rene Levesque Park where we parted ways.
When I got home T.Nil had dinner ready, yummy cooking, I was starving.
Hey, I do not remember stopping at the Tattoo place on Sources Blvd. Ooops, I forgot to shave my legs, soooorry :)
fresh paint, do not touch

On our way to visit Collin at the ICU, Jewish General Hospital
'Dropped off T.Nil at the Royal Victoria Hospital.
Next stop, Pastor K (Kevin), our new Youth Pastor at Fairview Alliance Church, for a breakfast meeting and followed by a visit to Collin, a brother in Christ, who is currently at the ICU of the Jewish General Hospital on Cote St. Catherine St.
Spotted this beautiful scene, thank God I have my digital camera with me most of the time, stopped and took these photos. Wow, God's Creation Calls - how can I say there is no God, when all around creation calls??
"Daybreak" - Mackenzie King Park, Cote St. Catherine St., Montreal
Yes, and it's daybreak if you wanna believe
It can be daybreak, ain't no time to grieve
Daybreak (Barry Manilow)
I'm singin' to the world
It's time we let the spirit come in
Let it come on in
I'm singin' to the world
Everybody's caught in the spin
Look at where we've been
We've been runnin' around, year after year
Blinded with pride, blinded with fear
the rest of the lyrics with guitar chords
