An unusually incoherent post from Grant, here:

I know the feeling: sleep deprivation (add a shot or two of cheap
Bourbon to enlarge the effect).
But: worth reading: the message is good if not always clear: priddy is
good but don't get carried away.
Two excerpts:
A bag that weighs more empty than the contents it carries is quite a
bag. A rack that shows off its beauty and never covers itself with a
bag or basket is quite a rack. A bike and every part on it should
("shoulds" are OK now and then, no matter what they told you in the
late '70s) serve a function. That doesn't mean they shouldn't do it
nicely, or artifully, or even beautifully. I would say the best (value
judgement time!) do that, and 'm not the arbiter of taste, but I'm all
for it beaunction. I want to coin b-words.
A bike should look only so fancy. There's a line. It's easy to cross
it. Bikes that win awards at bike shows often cross my personal line,
but not the lines of the judges. It's kind of a Normal Jean or Marilyn
Monroe? thing. I meant Norma, but normal works. I believe more in
muscle memory than in the subconscious. The one that's easier to prove
gets my vote.
