Chuck,
I'm bummed that I missed the ride. I felt like crap most of the day. And this fractured eyelash REALLY hurts! Rats, I missed Steve Sommers and his trike; I almost dragged mine out the day before to bring out to the ride. Wanted to see Greg Fletcher and all the others, but I just couldn't get myself to drive that far while feeling out of it. Any chance you could move the Rose Bowl closer to my house? Maybe you could get busy with a teaspoon and dig it up. If you get her out of the ground, I'll stick it on the roof of my car and bring her down.
Maybe Scott Smith thought we already moved it.
Brian Baylis La Mesa, CA Must be feeling better. My sense of humor(??) is working again.
