Another FARATS Entry!

Tracy Wilkins of Springfieldcyclist.com sent me this link, telling me to take my pick for a FARATS entry. I picked the one featuring a bicycle, of course, although Tracy swears that was an accidental bonus sidewalk salmon. I probably would have chosen it anyway for its pure POW! factor.

Anyway, here's Tracy's entry:

Something else has come up. Chandra of GreenComotion has asked me if he could submit a picture from St. Louis that he took a few years ago. As much as I hate to say no, especially to Chandra, who may be one of the kindest online friends I've got, I'm saying no because I hope to run this contest annually and can't have people showing up with kick-ass pictures from previous years.

That said, I really want to see this photo. Chandra, would you send it in for me to post even though I won't enter it? Please? C'mon, you know you want to...

Thanks to all who have submitted or who plan to... I'm really enjoying this. As you know, it is really all about me. And maple-y goodness.

Encounters with Rantwick, episode fourteen: Squirl, Interrupted

As some of you may recall, squirrels love me, at least compared to cars. Recently, however, I ran afoul of a squirrel who was enjoying a piece of cake. There was no "Hi, cutie pie" this time, as you shall see...

I hope no squirrel and dwarf attack squad has my number now. I am far too big a coward to face such a danger:

I would probably just pee my pants, fall to my knees and beg for my life. Thank God all of this is just in my head. It is, right? Tell me it is.

Whenever you can, let them eat cake.
