    Y'know what? I've heard of women recumbent riders,
    but I've never seen any. Whuzzup with that?

    You're in the wrong place, obviously...

    How many other recumbent riding women do you
    get to see per diem?

    In the pages of Ligfiets& there are usually quite a few (although still
    a clear minority). In the flesh I know a couple more. OTOH, amongst
    serious roadies they're a clear minority too, and in terms of
    proportions I wouldn't be surprised if they were similar.

    If I wrote as badly as some people posting to this thread, I would have
    no salary.

    okay but I forgot what we were talking about so I will tell you a story
    because I was diverted in my mission of trying to use definite references
    and you never answered whether you are him

    I have this really bad tendency of having coffee spill all over the car. I
    can put a lid on it, I can put in a carrier, I can put it in the alleged
    drink ring thing. No matter where I put it, the stuff spills.

    And it almost always manages to hit my ignition somewhere!

    So I think my car has finally had enough of this coffee thing. The lock
    seized up. I don't know if it is because it is snowing here, or because it
    just had enough. But the key would not turn. And I was stuck at work, left
    after everyone else had gone. Not one person around in the parking lot and
    it is dark.

    So Guess What I did. I had a quart jar of organic juice, and I poured it
    out on the ground. I went back to work and poured in a pile of water.
    Microwaved it. Boiled it. Poured it in the lock.

    And drove to K mart where I made this guy in a racing cap find me WD 40
    because I could not find it myself. No he did not work there. I just
    figured anyone who looked like this would LOVE it if I asked him a guy
    thing.

    yay it seems to have worked.
    well let us see. Maybe it won't still be working tomorrow.

    does cream and coffee rust?
