50km on the pavements

50km in 1 night. lots of rests and pit stops. the night cycling we talked about for a good half of the year came to final fruition. wasn't easy. lack of rest, physical preparation, early exhaustion nearly did us in. but we made it. a near-torturous 12 hours that was actually enjoyable in its weird quirky little ways.

meowing at all the cats i went past. at least 10 of them. observing a cat blind in an eye. how it sleeps on the stairs going into the canal. what a scenic spot. then taking pictures of a 1 inch frog sleeping with its black beady eyes wide open. mitchell's camera has flash, and i bet it would wake up blind. it was just so cute.

why are dogs so irritating? well after dawn i observed the roads filling up and people walking dogs. except for this dog who wagged its tail and smiled at me when i MEOW-ed at it, the rest are just pissing everywhere they go. seriously. u know how they must raise a leg to do so? why does one see that so often? how about cats? private matters, are always private matters. no one ever sees a cat doing such unsightly things. and that, is something that is never brought up in the debate of dogs vs cats.
