Is the itinerary final yet? Is he coming to ABQ, NM? Why not???

Regarding books: how is Rework if anyone has read it? Perhaps I should
just order since they promise 3X my money back if I don't like it.

Must order Epidemic, Just Ride and BS. Perhaps Unfolding, too. Bought
WWGF on Kindle already (but it doesn't convince wholly me tho' it has
some convincing material).

Jim: is that axle assembly for Surly hubs available yet?
