The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time #30 - Schrödinger's cats and dogs
01.20.10
One or more persons during a certain period drop their usual motives for movement and action, their relations, their work and leisure activities, and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there.
It's a bike ride.
It's a WEDNESDAY NIGHT bike ride.
Started by user nathansnider and user theroyalacademy.
It meets every WEDNESDAY at 8:30pm at California Donuts #21.
We ride at 9pm.
We'll endeavor to return before the last red line trains (around midnight).
On this bike ride, you might expect:
- full moon picnics
- inconvenient passageways
- "cover" versions of other people's rides, performed with amateurish enthusiasm
- amateurish enthusiasm
- disorientation
- reorientation
- pool halls
- bowling alleys
- dance parties
- karaoke
- geocaching
- oblique strategies
- Oulipian constraints
- traffic median tea parties
- rivers that no longer exist
- smell tourism
- Couchwick v2.0
Furthermore:
- A medium pace (maybe not for beginners; certainly not a hustle)
- But we're not in a rush; we don't need to run every light.
- About 20 miles. Or zero. Maybe both.
- Few stops; short stops.

This week:
Schrödinger's cats and dogs
If it's not raining this Wednesday night at California Donuts #21 in this universe, we will ride, here in this universe.
If it IS raining this Wednesday night at California Donuts #21 in this universe, we will do our riding in some other universe (indeed, in many other universes), while here in this one we remain comfortably dry in our houses.
It is useful sometimes to delegate the difficult tasks to one's alternate quantum identities. We are clever this way.
Environment-induced superselection.
