Washington D.C. used to seem like a world away but now is a quick afternoon drive. Early morning drives to the airport only to make it through security before the sun rises and the Dunkin’ opens. Paying an inexcusable $4.18 for a 16oz. bottle of water, only to down it moments later. Those lines have described the past month making my way around the east coast. https://davidan.dev/posts/bike/ Mon, 03 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://davidan.dev/posts/bike/ The streets are empty with the streetlights being the only company in the morning. Wet, damp fog provide the only relief in what is projected to be another scorching day when the sun comes up. I can’t see the crows screeching into the dawn, but I can hear them singing their song. It’s July in central Illinois. I lace up my white bike cleats, marred with grease marks and mud and clip into my bike; providing a stark contrast to the hot-rod red paint job of my carbon fiber contraptions. https://davidan.dev/posts/donut/ Sat, 12 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://davidan.dev/posts/donut/ “$7.13 is your total sir.” These are the same words I hear every Friday morning from the woman behind the counter. Her eyes weary from the same cycle day over day; something that has become a habit over years of monotony. However, it’s not her which gives the donut shop the character it possesses; instead, it’s moreso the cacophony of hearing the ovens blaring, cash registers ringing, and blenders blending which gives this donut shop its character.
