Vito has a bicycle? Will he attempt to perform the fantastic stunts that his grandchildren regularly attempt? They were out there this evening -- across the street again, jumping that yellow plastic thing that has them so fascinated. I half-watched as I watered the flowers and then chatted with the mayoral candidate who was making the rounds -- she seems like a stand-up, honest citizen... She wants to be mayor of Berea? I'll vote for her.

This time, at least... You see, it got me to thinking... maybe I could run for mayor next election. Imagine Berea-Rose as the seat of power; picture the chaos city governance would be thrown into... The shattering of the status quo... The locals with pitchforks and torches... Think of the food we'd cook on that new stove (the stove gets related to pretty much everything these days).

What a slog that would be. I guess I'd have to go door to door asking for votes. Sheesh. Maybe Vito could fly in and distribute campaign literature as he speeds down the sidestreets on his tricked-out BMX! Frylock, I need some ideas for a campaign theme.

Eh, on second thought I got enough on my plate these days just staying atop the schedules of two Cub Scouts. The weather got a little warmer today than it has been, making it nice to be outside this evening. Until the mosquitoes arrived. I think I'm down a few pints of blood by now.

I do hope the blog will soon have bicycle photos.

This is the place Cookie goes to; he's still on the beginner tracks but fully intends to get to the big stuff sooner rather than later:
