Maggie,
Have you noticed all the 'single' or single mentality types on this
group yet? If any are married it makes me wonder for how long or how in
the first place. My wife is trying to talk me into a "tadah" 'Big assed
Motor Home' to hual us and my biking stuff around. SUV, hah, get out of
my way or be part of the pavement. I think she wants to live in it and
just drive around the country, part for me to bike and part for her to
shop. Now if I could just part with all my stuff, about 2 U-Hauls worth.
