New Invention: Triple shot Latte in a small cup from ERC for $2.00. Kind of like a bunch-o-espresso with a touch of steamed milk. Mmmmm.

@mrgarin Sounds like a good plan - I don't do much recreational riding. My bike is an anemic 450. I mostly drive it to work to save gas.

First motorcycle ride of the year went quite well. Folks - remember that there is sand in lots of unexpected places in the spring!

@botimer That was not a dig at you at all. And I found a bug after my glowing tweet - so now I am tempted to start fixing Assignments.
