- CONTINUED Necklaces? Wait what? Here I was about to check for a two way mirror prank when it dawned on me. All these years I had been easing the clutch out every morning while time was going ever deeper into the redline and popping the clutch every time the alarm clock went off. Despite my constant adjustments and care time had been slipping away and the effects of so many daily launches were becoming obvious. Time had been beating me to the finish line every day and thus driven me into ever slower brackets while it was moving into faster ones! Quickly I ran through the list of yellow caution signs I’d dismissed. My 30th birthday, my 40th, my 50th! My doctor talking to me about something; blah blah blah Metamucil blah blah. The creaky halloween door noises when I got on or off a bike no matter how much or often I greased it’s bushings and pivots. I soon realized there was only one course of action to take. I hit the gastrointestinal nitrous button and angrily stomped my mental gearbox into ramming speed.
