"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

Ha! Not everyone will be using them as a hair restorer! I hope...I'm giving my apples a good washing from now on.

We got mysterious local yellow apples from the co-op. I had low expectations, but they are outrageously crisp and perfectly sweet--not cloying. What a nice surprise: Apples in Utah?!

My roommate and I just went apple picking this morning! Nothing like fresh-picked apples and fresh cider.

I love them much more refrigerated. Unfortunately, I shiver more when I rub them on my head

Great riding around here too. And if you're out early in the morning on a weekend, you can smell all the apple pies baking!
