It was 100º this past weekend...I think it would take more than buns of steel, super abs, and thigh master thighs to survive that! But I sure admire those of you who do!!!!

I especially like that it's local, not a chain store. The red fox sculpture would look awesome on my front walk!

He did it for pleasure and the rewards of not sitting in slow traffic on his commute.

I spoke with someone at work yesterday, he has gone from spending $50+ on gas each week to $8 per week riding a motorcycle. Not sure I am ready for that just yet, but I should would like to go single digit weekly gas price.<BR/><BR/>I am so sorry about your friend.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09077658139465236292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18199660.post-45535150694922934102008-06-25T19:54:00.000-06:002008-06-25T19:54:00.000-06:00Plus you are building up muscles and burning off f...Plus you are building up muscles and burning off fat.
