If I ever get back to your neck of the woods I would like to meet you, seem like such a great character.
On that note, I passed out for the first time on my life a few years ago. Some kind of allergy and was having a beer with my buddy out front in lawn chairs, enjoying the weather and chatting. I coughed until I could not breathe...put my arms out catch myself and of course he grabs my beer so I would not spill but lets me fall flat on my face. I don't know if I should have thanked him or killed him.

There are some possible explanations of my fainting, which I won't post here, at least not yet.

I grew up with dogs but not full time in house. We got a Golden Retriever for our son and he liked him in the house. Come to find out I was allergic to the long hair it had and we had to get rid of. I have never wheezed and felt so sick in my life. I hope all is well Tom.

No bikes (gotta have some space without a bike, right?), but Brisco was a classic.

I love the new pup, but I've worked through this pic making me sad and now it makes me smile almost every time I look at my phone so I don't know if it'll ever get changed.
Sorry, so off topic. I just can't resist sharing my B with folks who weren't lucky enough to meet him.

On topic: I don't have a smart phone either. My employer provides us with a phone for calling us in emergencies and it is the cheapest flip phone they can get. I can't remember how long I've had mine, but I like that it is small for carrying in my seat bag.

ALL my bikes have the right lever controlling the front brake. It is not wrong, just a personal preference I've had for over 40 years.

I love me a mutt. Genetic diversity FTW. I mix up my new dog's name once in a while as well, but he's Lenny, and Brisco was named after Detective Lenny Brisco from Law and Order so it kinda makes sense...his full name would probably be Lenny Brisco Peacock if he had one...next dog might be Jerry, or Orbach...
