Out of control...

I went to Lorient today and walked around some of the shops... I saw a Quiksilver store and was thinking, cool! gotta check it out... they had some cool pants, so I thought... until I saw the price... 96 euros! (120 dollars)... on second thought, I don't like quiksilver that much... I could buy three pairs of quiksilver pants for that in the states... so, I walked around some more and found this real cool store with some awesome clothes... get this... they had a belt made from cow hide with the fur... kind of like those fizik saddles back in the day... I thought that was styling, I even wanted one of those saddles when they were out... I didn't get anything though... I had stopped by a bike shop before and had to spend the money on bike stuff I needed... as always, more than I intended... I was in need of a new 53 tooth chain ring after dropping my chain in a sprint yesterday and almost eating pavement... It had been a bit worn and I had kind of neglected it, wasn't smart... by the way, if you ever come to France be prepared to pay a little extra to eat on the terrace... It cost us an extra 20 cents per item and the sun wasn't even out... what a rip...
