Yeah, it sucks. But not much sympathy from a resident of the eternal arctic vortex!

I sure feel for you folks. I'd trade some sun for a few weeks of snow and water.




Going to be dry year. Sad but true. View off of pops' patio over looking the valley where most of your lettuce ships from.
I rode to his house and tried out his bike with the progressive front forks today.

Last weekend I rode was the weekend before Thanksgiving '14. I'm trying real hard to feel your pain. Nope, not working.
