I mean, would you stop your car if a rat was crossing in front of you? I know I wouldn't. :) It is pretty amazing how the squirrel has fooled us into thinking it isn’t a rat by having a bushy tail and looking cute.

Had Rockwell done anything or nothing before it, and anything or nothing after it, he would none-the-less be a great artist for having painted it.

As far as my photo equipment, <a href="http://www.very-simple.com/blog/2009/11/18/36579-my-tools/" rel="nofollow">this post</a> details my equipment. For the marathon, I used the 70-300mm lens, since I can generally stand further away and get decent shots of the runners. thanks for the tips – the biggest burden of going anywhere but the finish is having to get up earlier and navigate my way to somewhere other than the upper west side.

Since I ride so many different bikes Haven't used my cleats in a while. I like just getting on the bike with any shoes I like. Don't really notice much of a loss in power. But my feet are much warmer. btw- Gortex Merrils really keep your feet warm and you can use em with your powerstraps! Getting ready for spring,you move fast?
