Nice analogy for some/many. But when I was there I had a frigging job.

Bikes: Catrike 559 I own some others but they don't get ridden very much.

Today was the first school day since I retired. I drove out to the elementary school I used to drive my school bus to so that I could say "Good by" to the kids. It was good.

No 4:30 alarm tomorrow morning but I'll probably wake up anyway.
