The first back to earth film awakened a desire I didn't even know I had.
It's what ultimately led me to Rivendell.

two days now, but I've been too busy riding and fiddling around with it to
take pictures.

I am admiring Cecily's restraint at this point. Once I opened my very

going to start finishing the build.
It's purely financial cash flow, not willpower. Only 8 more days to go

I've always loved bicycles. I remember my very first big girl's bike - a
red, white blue Free Spirit girl's bike with a white banana seat and
streamers on the handlebars.
I'm just up the road from Bellingham in Vancouver, BC and I'm willing to
help however I can. And hey - maybe by the time the rally happens, I'll
have my Betty Foy! ;-)
