Pittsburgh Guy

I've lived in Pittsburgh since I was 3 years old, almost 50 years. My parents were born and raised here. My mother's parents moved here from Russia at the turn of the century (1900's). I love the city. I also love to get out of the city and travel. It gives me perspective and makes me appreciate where I live. I will post my ramblings about Pittsburgh: its political leaders, charities, sports, recreation, food etc. I will also let you know about my escapes from Pittsburgh.

Why having a party when parents away is "Risky Business

Recently I went out of town for a few days. My 18 year old daughter stayed behind. We told her not to have people over. When I got back home I discovered my bike was missing from the basement. She was shocked that it was missing, but fessed up that she had a "few" friends over. She gave me a list of all the "guests". I had her get the message out that if the bike was not returned that I would be letting the police sort through the guest list. No one came forward. I made my daughter accompany me to the police station. We filed a report with my daughter being compelled to give the police the list. Within two hours the bike magically appeared at my house.
`` I really like the bike. It's a Motobecane Vent Noir. I commute to work downtown as often as practical. With the time change, shorter days and colder weather my commuting days are going to be limited until the Spring. Next summer I'm planning on riding the trails from Pittsburgh to DC. I may have to get a different bike for the trip. I'm not sure if this one can handle the trails.
