Is any body out there?

If anyone still reads these things, I found a fascinating bicycle helmet.

Bike ride

Anyone still out there might find my  nephew's account of his trip interesting.

The "Denim Shortage" also known as the "Denim Misallocation" has reached the hinterlands!  I have seen several young things at Stauffs wearing jeans that are clearly too small.  This is a measure of the economic health of an economy.  Alas, it has reached the point where we cn barely clothe our daughters!

I broke down and got a cat (chat).  Actually a kitten (chaton).  While she is very talkative, she has not yet told me what her name is.  Unless it is "Gnaow".  I think she is a Maine Coon.  She does have a magnificent tail.
