    Mimi,
    Perhaps I flipped... when I should have flopped.

    So what highway do all those socks that disappear from the dryer wind up on?
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

    Dear Former Apartment Complex,

    Thanks for sticking us with a huge bill for replacing the carpet. $832 seems really high for less than 700 sq ft of cheap carpet. I was thinking I would get a new bike soon, but I guess you can have half the money. I will try to wait patiently to save an extra $800 towards the bike.

    Signed,
    Happy to be a home owner and not a renter!

    Dear Dodge Durango Driver,

    Thank you for pulling over and blocking the pit bull and chow that was chasing me today as I rode. The honking and car coming towards them surely distracted them so I could make it safely up the hill. I was to scared to turn around to offer a friendly thank you wave, but I know you quite possibly saved me from a nasty dog encounter.

    Thanks for looking out for me,
    The cyclist in Liberty Hill

    Dear Aggie Ama,
    I think that post should also go to your local paper, which maybe that driver reads. And maybe the dog owner(s) too, although they may be illiterate as well as inconsiderate, seeing as they're letting those dogs run loose, which is probably illegal. I'm glad that driver helped out; glad not all drivers are crazy bike-haters.

    I just sent a note to the publisher of our small town paper. I am hoping they will publish my thank you.

    Dear Coworkers

    Please stop bringing your leftover Christmas candy - especially chocolate - to work. It's not like I didn't have enough at home tempting me for the last few weeks. Sigh...

    My letter was published. It was cast away in a small cluttered "letters to the editor" box, but it was there. I feel like I was able to "Thank" the motorist.

    ((((CBC)))) I hope the electric company could have a heart and turn on the electricity without issue. Hopefully all the bad is gone for 2007, you shouldn't have so much at once. (((hugs)))
