Best Electric Bike Ever
Okay, so Dan PN's neighbor electified his bike for him. Is this a sweet bike or what? Rust pretty much everywhere, girl's bike, banana seat, monkey bars, single gear with a coaster brake. Still peddle-able (in fact, Dan described this as more of an "electric assist" bike than an electric bike). Electricity provided by 12 volt automobile battery under the seat. Power comes from a converted Peugeot (auto) starter motor, with drive transferred to the rear wheel via an old skateboard wheel (friction drive). The best part (which you can't see) is how you engage the electric motor: you squeeze a wooden clothes pin that is attached to the handlebars. Brilliant.

Bear For Auction
This is supposed to be a bear in "Foraging Pose". Somehow this wasn't how I thought bears forage.
Anyway, you can bid on this bear at auction, March 27th in Montpelier at 1:30pm at the Unitarian Church.
It's the ideal gift for someone who lacks a bear.

Blessing for a Dead Ladybug
My 6-year-old daughter (who is a cat as well as a human) discovered a dead ladybug in the house the other day and said this impromptu blessing:
"By the great Cat Lord may you be blessed in the underworld. Our great Lord Hades will bless you as his very companion. And you will be so ever-on blessed, until your soul floats up into the sky to join the other souls. Amen."
