Yeah, ummm my story got picked for letter of the month in this month's Bicycling magazine. I really didn't want to tell anyone cuz they butchered my letter and it reads like I ride the short bus but I'm so excited I couldn't contain it anymore.
I got a free tool kit too! So here it is in all it's glory. Let the ragging commence. :o (I swear my letter was sooo much better)

I was wondering about the beetles too. Why don't articles ever include the relevant information?

In the case of Bicycling, the relevant information gets in the way of the ads.

ie. be afraid. be very afraid.

I was wondering for a minute if "nice tool kit" was some kind of euphemism. Then I realized you're all really talking about a nice tool kit.
Anyway, congrats MP and uhm...nice tool kit!
