  1. Well...I didn't think I could do it...but I actually managed to haul
    my Trek to the bike shop using my trailer. Wasn't too hard but it did
    pose a few interesting problems while loading. And it hung over quite
    a bit. Take a look and enjoy!!!!

    No, but the Cornhusker's flag is!

    What is a Cornhusker flag and why is it mandatory?

    Lou

    The Cornhusker flaf is to support the University of Nebraska. ((Which
    SUCKED this year in football)) But we WON'T open THAT can of worms
    here!!!!!

    The American flag and the POW/MIA flags are something that I have
    carried over from my motorcycle days. I fully support the efforts to
    have a full accounting of the POWs' and MIAs'. And I fly the American
    flag because I am, quite simply, very patriotic.

    And it makes me stand out just a little bit more than the simple
    orange triangle that came with the trailer.

    Actually wasn't all THAT cold. Most of the snow that's left right now
    is what's in the shade. Although it IS a bit nippy here today. 20
    degrees for a high.

    Most days I dress warm enough where I am busting a sweat no matter
    what the temp is outside.

    How did you manage traction with the trike on the snow and ice. That's one
    down side I hadn't thought of when I got my trike. Poor traction when
    climbing slippery or loose surfaces.

    College football is a near religion in some mid-size US cities. Lincoln,
    Nebraska is one of those cities.

    It's hard for anyone to get traction on the ice. But for everything
    else I have 20 inch mountain bike tires mounted on all three wheels.
    And I try and ride where there is at least a little snow on the ice
    for a little extra traction. Seems to serve me pretty well. I have
    had very few "donuts" that I didn't cause on purpose.

    Lou


    I can't tell for sure (from the pics) what flags Harry is flying, but I can
    cetainly tell you, that those who graduate from the University of NE at
    Lincoln, are passionate about their football team.

    They usta be pretty good, but I fear, time has passed them by. I guess their
    marketing dept did not get the memo.

    I think the guy in the following pic might be Harry, but this is absolutely
    unconfirmed:

    I have just noticed, the UNL home page rotates between five different
    pictures (through clever modern website programming). The one I was
    referring to, is Jake. It was a *joke*. Harry is obviously much older than
    Jake. But I thought they both symbolize the cornhusker nature of the great
    state of NE...whatever that means.

    I apologize for the confusion.

    Yeah, your pic is 'current student' Jake...absolutely NOT Harry.

    Here is 'Harry and the Rig', in a summer pic:

    Hopefully this confusion, which I have created, it clarified.

    Got it. That sort of asinine 'enhancement' is probably why my Netscape
    crashed.

    With no further updates planned for Netscape, I switched to Firefox,
    which of course as a Mozilla product is very similar. So far, less
    crashes. Firefox can even be installed without rebooting.

    I agree, Firefox is a very good alternative browser. IMO, time has passed
    Netscape by. Like dbase and Lotus 123.

    Firefox does not support ActiveX. This can be both good and bad, depending
    on what websites you need to browse to.

    The regular Mozilla suite has been renamed "Seamonkey" and is an even
    better drop in replacement for Netscape:
    http://www.seamonkey-project.org/

    It's basically what Netscape was built on the last few years. A lotta
    Firefox under the hood no doubt.
