My only thought is you're sort of a litmus test on these sorts of things for me, so if you (and the rest of your crazy, hippie bike people) are happy, that's good news.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.
The author of the above is what we call a "roof-racker" in bike circles, kind of the extreme right wing of commie-pinko-barefoot-hippie bike culture. So I wouldn't say I'm in tune with what makes him happy, but after 8 years of sheer horror I'm just glad the incoming president didn't seek out the former CEO of Ford Motors for the job.

(I'll be interested to hear if my foamer friends like him too-- not exactly born supporters of rails-to-trails . . .)
