Right. And when my daughter was 2 years old we went to Boston, walked around in the park looking for the ducks from _Make Way For Ducklings_. A dozen years later we were on a bike tour and saw a hammered dulcimer player at the Peters Valley Craft Fair. He had a bunch of record albums set up for sale around where he was playing. The records had a picture on the cover of him playing sitting in front of a big fountain. She takes a look and says she knows where that fountain is located, and tells me the name of the park and the street location: the park we were in when she was 2 years old, and where she has not been since then. How many other people can do that? I know lots of people who can't get tires on without tire jacks or levers. I had to help one on today's ride. (OK, he has a legitimate excuse, having injured his hands in a fall a couple of months ago.) The fact that you can do something extraordinary doesn't mean anyone else can, or that they should be forced to try. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
