Yes ;-) If you replace Looks with Carnacs, real Shimano SPuD shoes and ordinary street shoes. People
sneer at the bread bag approach, but it can actually work quite well. Over here, neoprene booties
are de rigeur, but I find them rather confining and stinky. Besides, I just wanna ride; not play
"Lloyd Bridges", wearing a bunch of wetsuit stuff.

If you ever come to Vancouver BC, look me up -- I'll treat you to a lovely feed of my geoduck clam
chowder. And an oolichan fish-fry, if I can find a batch of oolichans, and an hibachi to quickly
sear their fillets on. If you're finicky, I'll even cut the heads off.

If you come to Vancouver, bring me a lot of finnan haddie, and I'll be forever endebted to you

If I go out into the weather immediately after a hair-care regimen, I end up with a magnetic hair
day. Maybe I need a helmet with a conductive rubber strip that dangles down and drags on the
pavement. I'm bursting with potential <g>
Remember the band, "Status Quo"? My hair never quite reached that floor-sweeping length, but that
was what I was aspiring for, and I /almost/ made it. But it was much too much for me. It also made
me look too scary. Now, with my short college cut, I look like a cop, which is also scary. But at
least my hair dries fast outa the shower. When it was long, I used to have to wait for /hours/
before setting foot outside. Whutta hassle.
cheers, and the same around again, Tom
