Fine trash talk given your effete European origins, Wolfie!  I have to  
admit that I cannot say with certainty that we would caught you  
without the help of at least one of those lights.  I'm conceding the  
point only because I let Brad Cason and Zane do most of the work. :-)

Speaking of Brad, I hope everyone got a chance to check out the  
beautiful Kirklee bike he was riding.  I rode it around Allen Academy  
a couple of times.  That was a mistake.  Now my Kestrel feels like  
Huffy... :-)  My plans are now to win the lottery so that Brad can  
build me one!
