Six heavy logs (next winter’s firewood). I came across these logs in the trash on my way home from the gym this evening (hence the gym bag)…while some may just see trash…I saw next year’s fuel. I only took half of them because that’s all I felt I could safely carry (believe-it-or-not I actually knowContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#28)”

The Future Of The Automobile?
When I first saw this photo I was (and still am…a little) somewhat speechless (how much does that weigh, I wonder)…talk about reversed roles.
