With solemnity, He claimed: Tomorrow (Saturday) it will be bad, but then it will get better & better.

I TRUST HIM (or at least I want to!)

My daily forecast....

3 days to go...

my bike only needs a fill up, chain lube and tire pressure check.....

I think it's pure paranoia when you ask a question you don't want to hear the answer. And when you get the answer you didn't want to hear, you just go asking somebody else trying to get an answer that pleases you.

Well:
