My odometer rolled over while I was out apartment-hunting this afternoon. Since I was about a half-mile from the Sehome Village shopping center, I went and circled around the parking lot to finish my four-thousand-first mile in front of the Bellingham REI Co-op.
That's four thousand miles on an odometer I put on in mid-February 2010. My bike was purchased in March 2006, and could easily have 20,000 miles on it now.
And here's a gripe on a different topic: ten years ago in March I moved in to the apartment I'm getting kicked out of now. Back in those days rentals were advertised in newspapers. I used to search listings in the paper, then go out and drive, bus, bike or walk around to check out addresses I liked. Now everything is online, and the listings are often out-dated or inaccurate, or you have to sign up for a paid subscription to get complete contact info on current, correct listings. I like the old way better.
