Rhetorical question I agree, but honestly some days you really have to wonder. Enjoying my morning coffee and browsing the NZ Herald online this morning, I saw a picture of a woman on a scooter. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c...mp;objectid=10669175 Now I am always interested...

Two incidents on the way back from the NZ Tag setting exercise this morning - which was a pretty cool ride, BTW. Daniel Lamb and I headed up 22 to retrieve the old and set the new. Best conditions I have encountered on that road - cool, overcast, but no wind and DRY road. Not too much clag lying...
