Your expensive little cars came equipped with turn signals and, I'm sure, a user's manual. I hope you both die a thousand horrid deaths.

I thought it was only topologists who had fun with naming stuff. Biologists do, too!

I just almost inhaled a snowflake. I haven't decided how I'm going to travel across town (very early) tomorrow morning. Bike, bus, & bus, or bus & car. I need to find out quick about riding in snow and ice.

Okay - no riding across town in this. I won't get to rinse all the road crap off my bike, for starters.

Good grief - across Canada in 8 days, albeit in a relay format, each person riding 3-hour shifts.
