I really love sarcasm sometimes. When done correctly, it really is a sound for sore ears (does that phrase work in this context?... I hope so). Anyway, a recent quote from the blog of my good friend Carol (who is on a solo bike trip from Helsinki to Berlin) reminded me of my strong affection for sarcasm.
(on biking in Estonia)
"I followed the bike paths which are, thank god, in the middle of traffic. If having cars able to hit you on one side isn't scary enough having it on both sides just adds to the adventure."
Good use of sarcasm, Carol. I applaud you.
I will also take this opportunity to wish Carol a pleasant journey. Not luck though, she doesn't need it. Just pure stamina... and plenty of popsicles. Like I said above though, I pity her. I mean, traveling through a new area of the world on bicycle, where you have to see the countryside and get the chance to meet tons of people. Sounds terrible. Yuck. I just feel lucky that I'm not there...
