Fighting the flu.
It's a war out there.
Some people have resorted to surgical masks to keep germs at bay.
Mostly the standard issue white or gray variety.
Zzzzzzzzz. SOOOO boring. The fashion police would have this guy behind bars in a nanosecond.
If you're going to go full-blown bandito on us, at least do it with style.
Fortunately there is a remedy at hand.
Behold...the animal print mask.
Battle the bug AND unleash your chic inner beast!
Grrrrrrrrrr...

Redundancy.
We've all heard the term, a common word in these cautious, threatening times when paranoia about our vulnerabilities and security has us doubling up like never before. Nowadays it has become prudent to back-up just about everything. Airlines do it--in triplicate--to reduce the failure rate of a plane's mechanical system to near zero. So do power companies. And so do we. Ever pack an extra pair of underwear into your overnight bag...just in case?
Yes, it's one big redundant world out there.
But really, schlep a spare bike around town? Talk about pushing the redundancy envelope! But then again, perhaps he was a Boy Scout and that "Be Prepared" motto just kind of stuck.
Or maybe he just likes to show off. Or annoy midtown motorists stuck behind him.
Carry on!
