The problem is that every time I want to do that I have to go to two different sites, upload the data, and that way I would have all my information on the sites that I want to have it on.  I know I explained all of this in an earlier post.  Since Garmin has not actually taken the steps to make those trips exportable to WordPress, or any other format that I would be able to post here, I have not really felt as though it was worth the effort to keep doing that.  <\/p>\n<p><a title=\"I just can not help the feeling that they named this business based on something other than scuba diving.\" href=\"http:\/\/www.the500footbuddha.com\/pics\/l\/1-1.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.the500footbuddha.com\/pics\/l\/1-1s.JPG\" alt=\"\" style=\"border: 3px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); margin-left: 15px;\" width=\"150\" height=\"130\" align=\"right\" \/><\/a>I did continue to ride my bike for the duration of summer classes.  I decided to go around Akron and take some pictures of the sites that I have seen.  The kids came along as well.  I do not have class for several more weeks and I wanted to take a picture of some of these places before I forgot.  Summer classes being over and is a huge relief and it is time to maybe laugh at some of the things I have seen.  On a side note I had originally promised myself that I would continue to at least go to the yoga class at the recreation center, but I have failed miserably at getting motivated to attend that class twice a week.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Someone iz stealin' mah lettahs!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.the500footbuddha.com\/pics\/l\/1-3.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.the500footbuddha.com\/pics\/l\/1-3s.JPG\" alt=\"\" style=\"border: 3px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); margin-right: 15px;\" width=\"150\" height=\"130\" align=\"left\" \/><\/a>This business is actually still in operation.  Maybe that is not a good reason to take a picture of it, but I thought it was just really interesting.  This business almost embodies how I feel about Akron.  I have passed it several times and have personally witnessed employees doing&#8230; something.  I do not know what this business does and the name of the business is something of a puzzle.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Nearly completed.  It is amazing what you can get built if you can throw enough money at it.\" href=\"http:\/\/www.the500footbuddha.com\/pics\/l\/1-4.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.the500footbuddha.com\/pics\/l\/1-4s.JPG\" alt=\"\" style=\"border: 3px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); margin-left: 15px;\" width=\"150\" height=\"130\" align=\"right\" \/><\/a>This is the stadium that while I will probably never actually attend a game in this stadium for the 2009 football season I am sure that it will make finding parking a living nightmare.  The University of Akron intends on adding more parking and they have certainly started construction that would achieve that goal, but I doubt that I will personally benefit from any of it.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Stay classy Akron.\" href=\"http:\/\/www.the500footbuddha.com\/pics\/l\/1-5.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.the500footbuddha.com\/pics\/l\/1-5s.JPG\" alt=\"\" style=\"border: 3px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); margin-right: 15px;\" width=\"150\" height=\"130\" align=\"left\" \/><\/a>I probably should not have even taken a picture of this one.  This is right off a main street near downtown and you can clearly see that someone wrote an explicative on the billboard.  Yes, that is an arrow going to the corner of Hannity&#8217;s mouth.  No, I do not know why they did this, and honestly I want to know how they got up there.  The funny part is it was probably the work of drunk college kids.  I should just be glad nobody died climbing up there for such a dumb joke.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"I honestly expect to see this picture posted some where else.
