There are many ways one can divide the world into two classes of people. For fun, not for meanness. And one of the ways to divide them is, those who name inanimate objects, and those who don't. I never have. Won't say never will, but doubtful. If I am feeling especially inspired by my tech I start singing.
Living things, I have a hard time sticking to just one name. My poor doggies.

Reading all these posts has made me feel inadequate...I only have two bikes. Guess I'll have to get another to keep up with the crowd.
