Let me know if you need one'a those earrings. I can prob'ly get more at the Medieval Fair come summer. They cost about $30 and weigh virtually nothing, so easy to mail. ... Anything to make a Mom happy
Heh,
Well, see I have a problem with the multitool thing...I have no doubt that she'd get me one to take cycling, but I haven't found one that I like yet. I've discovered that I'm fairly picky about that. I do wear a very small backpack (it looks like a camelbak but no bladder for water) that I carry some little stuff in that doesn't weigh me down. As for the earrings, thanks for the offer but I can't wear earrings. I do have a whistle, I'm thinking I'm going to attach it with a break away clasp for around my neck or on my handle bars. I think that might work nicely. Thanks for the tips. Mom and I appreciate it.
