Subject: [CR]Trying to focus on one Hetchins at a time

When I was in Fallbrook CA this last weekend looking at Tommy's 24 or 25 or 26 Hetchins.I had a hard time focusing and I cannot count beyond 10 when counting Hetchins.Too much visual excitemet to stay focused. Tommy had built a round bike stand that held 12 bicycles in a circle. So imagine your standing there looking at 12 Hetchins in a circle and as you stand there trying to focus on one Hetchins you can see 11 others all different in minor details. So even though your trying to narrow your view to one Hetchins so are getting input on 11 others. Fun yes fun.Plus next to that 12 hetchins were 12 more Hetchins in another circle. Plus three in a row in stands Plus three leaning against the fence and Plus three leaning against the house.Plus the old bikes people had riden to Tommy's Park your Hetchins or favorite bicycle between two mirrors and see what happens. Perhaps he should have had them turing slowly.
