Most towns have bicycles that 'magically disappear' when the rider isn't looking.  My neighborhood has magically APPEARING bikes.  Well, okay, a bike.

In other news, I've been jiggering the Circut to occasionally make the things I want it to make.  I've discovered that if I can, I need to work straight off the machine.  This doesn't work well (or, ( Read more... )
