The back light I got off the Internet, after doing some research. The flashing red light is so bright, I could set up my own crime investigation scene. The front light, which is bright and more substantial than its predecessors, I found at another high-tech place, the Conneaut K mart.
Biking to work also means taking in clothes early, doublechecking I have everything. One wrong calculation and I would find myself walking around work one day without dress socks. Well, that might not be too bad. I've known people who NEVER wore any socks to work anytime.
I also bring in wash clothes and towels for a quick cleanup.
Wife Louise even helped out, buying me a plastic soap dish to replace the sandwich bag I kept my soap in all of last year.
Last but not least, it was time to fill the MP3 player with episodes of the "CBS Mystery Theatre" from the Internet. This was a radio drama that aired from 1974-82 on CBS radio affiliates. The programs are pretty good and the downloads included vintage radio commercials and a chance to win an AM-FM radio with cassette. Ah those commercials. "When you say BUD-weiser, you said it all."
So if you see me pumping along Route 84, honk if you don't think I'll drive off the road into a utility pole. Or just throw money. Remember, I'm not saving as much of it this year.
