    So long as it's the non-stick kind. Sometimes there isn't anything else I've been able to find to cover it (DH's crashes - and one of my own).

    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    I think he wanted it so as not to gross out friends and co-workers. He remembers when DS #2 went to school many times with serious oozing road rash after crashing in races (not supposed to cover it, right?), and caused several of the girls at Acton Boxborough Regional High School to nearly faint.

    Dear self:
    Go get the burrito. Then go somewhere to study, or something. It's hot in here.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    Dear fellow church members,

    Yes, I almost always get to church by bicycle. Why do you find that strange? With the short distance, stop lights, and parking issues at our downtown cathedral, the bike is generally quicker door-to-door. Even if it weren't, the bike's more fun than the car.

    I think it's weird that of the 800 or so that worshipped at our place this morning, only 2 of us came by bike. And I know that some of y'all live within 2 miles-- isn't it strange that you're wasting money on gas driving someplace so close?

    They must be Iowans- apparently Iowans don't like to go anywhere they can't drive. I felt like I was taking my life in my hands yesterday to walk from the hotel the mile to a drugstore for some necessities and back. No sidewalk, walking from parking lot to grass to parking lot and in the shoulder on the bridge across the freeway.

    An occasional worn down foot path in the grass and weeds but few and far between.
    drugstore had a sidewalk that started on one side and ended at the other side by running into the highway.

    Very strange
