Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I saw a bumper sticker today--in Wisconsin--that proudly stated "Keep Austin Wierd." Who needs wierd?

Was the thief being considerate? Or was the thief thumbing his/her nose at the forgetful victim?
