"A BLACK CAT is bad luck. Envy is green. Passion is purple. A coward is yellow. If you're blue, that's bad. But if you are true blue, that's good. We damn blue laws. We cheer blue ribbons. And we hope that our futures will consist exclusively of red letter days, but red is precisely the wrong color for our financial accounts. In a thousand our idioms we unconsciously reveal the first and most important meaning of color to man: as a talisman beckoning friendly gods and warding off evil spirits. Long before scientists knew that the sun was the source of all color, the Egyptians bestowed on Ra, their sun god, the rank of first king of Egypt. And because purple was the most difficult color for the Egyptians to duplicate, purple became the prerogative of Ra and of all kings since."

JJ N 2
Obsession comes pretty close to describing my new found love for JJ. Richly textured and dreamy vocals, delicious and voluptuous rhythms. Track 3 induces it's namesake. I can't stay in my seat for From Africa to Malaga.

My favorite from Copenhagen Cycle Chic's top 10 bikes for lovely ladies.
The white tires lend a lightness to the structure of the frame and highlight the perfect curve of the cross bar.
