I think so too, Lainey. I was hoping MsP would see this. I don't think I've shared it with her. He's still hanging out and sometimes brings a female friend along. My neighbors and I are thinking some of the little kits we're seeing are the progeny of Mr. Gimpers and his friend. BTW, my neighbor who took in that poor little raccoon kit that fell out of my tree told me the other day that she's having about ten raccoons showing up when she feeds her cats. The cats apparently move over and let the raccoons share. Utterly amazing. I do not encourage them by feeding them EVER. I've started taking my birdfeeders down every night when the dogs go out before bedtime. The raccoons were raiding the feeders nightly and eating 4 or 5 pounds of sunflower seed a day. Too expensive and also they break the feeders.

Great pix. They will eat you out of house and home; we know too well.

Interesting. What makes one bike better than the other one? I know cars can be very different but I didn't think bicycles could be.

Some are lighter, some handle better, some ride better…and some just appealed to me. Not shown are my TT bikes, which are more aerodynamic and my off-road bikes. You’re right though, there’s not much of a difference between the bikes in this group.

+1 Chris and I are having a great family week in Durango with daughter Stephanie (24) and son Nick (19). Next week it's back to studies.

Fun! ...On another note, Jim, I sent you an email but I got a note that it didn't go through. People in Texas are very interested in buying Chris's ElliptiGO. I'm sure she could get at least $2,000 for it. Is she still interested in selling it?
