And I completely forget mowing the lawn, but since the automatic lawn mowers are out of town, I must have done it since it DID get done...

Subject Matter Mostly it's about local transportation cycling, as it exists in the here and now. It's got a smattering of other gratuitous toy recreation thrown in to keep y'all a little off balance.
