Henry you are a bugger/wind up merchant, but to clarify my position, there is no keeping up with the van Rooijen’s, if i could keep a few blocks behind him i would be a happy man.

(And japan was very interesting, i just didn’t have a bigger better japan to take a picture of…) keep up the good work…..

(and cheers for the Blog link)

Damn, I like those panniers! But, as I ride with seat all the way up, my rear kid seat has to be in the rearmost position. And so, where would he put his legs? Kids. So needy.

Well said…except that “quintessentially English” and “manufactured well” are not really phrases that come to mind in the same context.

It can’t be all bad, there were 16 comments on Japan. Though, granted, much of the discussion revolved around a cupboard drain system. We just know more about crates than Japan, that’s all. Now, if you posted about crates with a cupboard drain system, that would really give us something to talk about….

Oh, we’ve replaced W. with someone better— Sarah Palin. Described by Dick Cavett as, The Willy Wordsmith from Wasilla, Sarah can’t seem to stop talking about things she knows nothing about. Perhaps she can comment on your Japan post.

The Japanese photos and story were great. I looked at a lot of it. Sometimes there is nothing more to say.

Yes, what about those crates? Or specifically, the one on the bike with wooden slats for a bottom? How could you write a whole post and leave out the most important detail?
