antiquus postremo

'antiquus postremo' is latin for "ancient future". ancient-future is a term used by the so-called "postmodern church" or emerging church to envision what the future of the church might look like if we returned to modeling the early church as described in the book of acts. anyway, ancient future for this blog just means that I'm writing about what's happening right now in my life, kind of like saying "yesterday's tomorrow".

This morning, after working my side job over by River Road, neither of my sisters left late enough for work to be able to give me a ride, so I took my time by bike. I went to G.I. Joes, Papa's office to say hi, downtown Eugene to drop off my time sheet, and back home. The bike path on the river is really beautiful when it's sunny.

Just when I was arriving home I passed by both Mom and Thad riding different places on their bikes. Since Papa rode the bus to work today in order to ride home on his Coker (read: big-wheel unicycle), and Simon regularly rides to school on his Coker, that means there were five of us riding man-powered transportation contraptions today. Besides Simon, that means the four of us had corresponding drive-able cars sitting in the garage, driveway, or in front of the house.

This just in: Gas prices for bicycles (and unicycles) are staying steady, registering no increases in the recent past.

Actually, Thad & I were going to the same place, which is rare. I started out first because I knew he would catch up quickly.

I hadn't thought about all five of us using bikes or bus this morning. I must confess, though, I used the Prius to go to Winco for a week's worth of groceries.

I agree that our bike paths along the river are beautiful. And the next month or so with the changing colors will be especially pretty.

This blog should read, "Warning, Luke Arnold may once again post something amusing... read below."

God's peace,

PS: I hope that I expressed this in the correct way. (That last bit was funny)
