Oops...


i took something without permission...the picture i use for the header of this blog was created by a friend of mine and it's about time i give him credit. i met hekter when i started working as a messenger at standard courier. he was a few months in so already he was more experienced than me. it took a while for the man to say hello to me but i don't blame him...as i have said before, "they are all just numbers".

even as i left for school he continued to work jumping from company to company...shady on the details as to what companies. i remember him doing the whole upgrade thing that happens to messengers. started on a mountain bike. got a road bike. switched to a track bike. he was the first cat, that i remember, to rock a pursuit frame and was half the inspiration for me to purchase one as well. granted, my back is paying for it now, but, i gotta say, i looked cool...ha! he was out there for 3 to 5 years and saw many come and go...got to experienced the beauty of a 7 degree weather day and a 100 degree weather day. he was/is a true soldier...

anyway, going through his pics i came across this beauty...big rose in the back and bone in the forefront. all true soldiers that have come and gone. rose still rocks, from my understanding...think he's helping out mossner as an in-house messenger of sorts. btw, i'll talk about in-house cats soon enough. bone...well, that cat has pursued his career in acting. if anyone has seen the first season of prison break then you might recognize him.

check out hekter's flickr for some great photos...peace.

I'm guessing you just crossed clark going west on randolph and he snapped the picture from the el platform? Nice picture.
