I bought a new bicycle (the one I'd been riding was a birthday
present back in 1972), a new, lighter hybrid that's built for
streets and all-weather trails.

Went out and rode 20k today. Saw 47 species.

When one considers that a Starbucks mocha runs about 8 bucks a
gallon and the Europeans have been paying way more than 3 bucks
a gallon for petrol for years and years....

I figure it's time to wean myself from the teat of American oil.
That will leave more for the rest of you.

Your welcome.
