And all the Others

[evilhippo]

On a completely different note from the usual ranting... I've had two flat tires in the last week. Which would really suck, except... The first time I was already on my way to the bike shop, so it wasn't a big deal. Yesterday, however, I was on the trail in the giant exitless zone between Roosevelt and 31st. Apparently there was a small bit of brown glass that was in exactly the wrong spot. But, lucky for me, there was a guy heading in the other direction who stopped and (after apologizing for not having the right size inner tube on him), produced a patch kit and proceeded to fix my front tire for me. I thanked him profusely, but felt kind of... unsure. Based on the conversation we'd had (about how he works in a bike shop and stops to help people out all the time) and my general impression of him, giving him money for it seemed kind of out of place (and I only had a 20, and asking for change would've been worse). But I still needed to pay him back somehow, so I offered him pie. The one problem with this (other than my general disdain for pastry crust) is that I pretty much don't know anything about types of pie. The only pie I've made recently was a strawberry-rhubarb pie, which turned out well enough to get rave reviews from the people who tried it, so I generally feel confident that I can turn out a pie that will be to his liking. But I'm just not creative or knowledgeable when it comes to kinds of pies, so I turn to you...

Also I kind of actually finally got a call back about a job so yaaaaaay. Except it's an Americorps position and as awesome as it sounds, I'm not sure how I feel about consigning myself to a year of minimum wage, even if it'd make a good dent in my student debt and actually be... good (in fact, I'd kind of be working on the opposite side of things, so maybe I could make a dent in my karmic debt, too). But, for now... ponderponderponder.
