I personally like the excessive spending. Think about this, hmm, It helps the economy. It brings business to the bike shops that help us race, it pays taxes to widen our roads, and gives people jobs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18976997.post-58959654144201740372007-12-08T20:00:00.000-07:002007-12-08T20:00:00.000-07:00Here, here.

I totally agree with the diamond thing. It was a point of huge contention between me and the wife/in-laws (mostly the latter). In the end I folded, but at least I went whole-sale. Some people see sparkles when they look at a diamond, all I see is exploitation of people in terrible conditions already.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596833733450246149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18976997.post-21167857362350567602007-12-07T11:27:00.000-07:002007-12-07T11:27:00.000-07:00Cyclocross is tomorrow though I'm not sure you can...Cyclocross is tomorrow though I'm not sure you can wait that long.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18976997.post-40479896637511809382007-12-07T08:30:00.000-07:002007-12-07T08:30:00.000-07:00I was pleasantly surprised when we moved into our ...I was pleasantly surprised when we moved into our neighborhood and received a invitation from one of our neighbors for a neighborhood Christmas party where instead of buying a stupid gift that no one needs for your neighbors they were taking donations for a local charity. It was nice to get together with neighbors with no pressure to bring a gift and remember the spirit of the season by helping a local charity.Utah Mnt bikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06139599463285118867noreply@blogger.com
