My phone goes into my handlebar bag every time I climb on the bike. It doesn't come out until I reach my destination and I'm off the bike.

My E-mail was down.......how else am I supposed to keep up with my Facebook? I was trying to describe the back of the semi I was about to hit.

......just kidding. Around here, we consider Rockford to be part of Cheeseland, because of the graduation rate.
