Chuck,

Shame on you, Chuck. Rubbing our nose in the warm Ca weather. Normally I wouldn't be caught dead going out in this dredful atmosphere; but John Boy's got ants in his pants (or something like that) so I'm forced to go. Since Mr. Happy is going to freeze his ASS OFF tomorrow just to get on the bike, we have to look at the bright side. By the time the ride is over the ants will be frozen too. Thank God!

That'll hold him for a few days until he sits down in the park and picks up a new batch of ants! Three months of THIS?! God.....PLEASSSSE NO!!

Brian Baylis La Mesa, CA I also get to laugh when Mark stretches Johnnyboys' neck on the climb. I get to go down the hill first because I have the BIGGEST snow plow. ;-)
