A little class!! How could I give your journals any more class than they have already!

But, it's a new era isn't it. Embedding a journal in an existing journal. I wonder if it has ever been done. Did Scott do this to get more likes? I doubt it. Someone who is in first place in the 'likes' category isn't looking for more.
But the idea of including someone else in a journal is intriguing. Like if two people were, say, riding separately but at the same time in the same territory they could have a joint journal that could be pretty interesting, especially if they met up from time to time. Just for example: If one person rode around Lake Superior one direction and the other person rode the other direction and they met. After they met they could rely on the other's information and maybe stay in the same places occasionally but their experiences would be totally different because we are all different people and how we experience things differs wildly. Just an intriguing thought.

At least the plane flight is “only” to AZ from PDX.. Do hope you don’t land with another headache or onset of more health issues. Stay hydrated! HAVE FUN!!

Mr Anderson’s wild ride! I don’t know why, but a the name of a mountain bike trail on Hornby Island just popped into my head as I was reading the previous comments: Mr Toad’s Wild Ride. I’m so glad you came out mostly intact at the other end!

This scene feels eerie and foreboding to me.

Like these are the last three elk on the planet or something..

How does it feel to you?

And now my imaginary airplane flies in, so its shadow can join the fun.

In my imaginary video, your shadow reaches up to the shadow of the airplane wing, with a celebratory "high 5" vibe.

It was touch and go, and just getting to the airport was one last good story day, but we’re here in spite of ourselves. We’re just boarding now.

And we have to pick our own pedals too, which were part of the issue. My spanner to remove them apparently stayed in Barcelona, not in the Raven; and we figured this out at 4 this am.

By this time, you may already have your nudge word.

If you don't, I like the idea of a gaggle of nudge words!

I wonder what the airplane would say if it could see its shadow?

If I were the airplane, I would shut down the autopilot system so that I could play with my shadow. Maybe even see if it could do a somersault!

Fasten your seatbelts, folks!!

It's so beautiful I may choose to hang out there for fun sometime while not traveling!

Have a great flight to Tucson and a wonderful time while you're there. All the things you value are back. It's like the ending of "It's a Wonderful Life", except no snow and you have to pick your own petals.

Whew!! What ride you've had. It's great that you finally have some good news with all of the bad.

Great job on your nudge word and in getting Scott's bike and car back to him safely. Also, major compliments on your contribution to Scott's journal. Don't be surprised if I ask you to do the same for one of my journals someday--you know, give it a little class.

Jeff has certainly given so much to the cycling community not only in USA and Canada but all over the world even right down here in NZ. There are so many people I now think of as friends though the majority I have never met

Yes, TA is definitely for some same old, same old time. Embedded in the details of the bullet points ther must be at least ten days that I’d regard as a ‘good story day’, some catastrophe or Perils of Pauline saga - the really good stuff, like Rachael and I getting stuck open different trains on the way to Perpignan - not like the fact that I just lost my glasses again for example. Normally we’ll have a freakish day like that maybe once every month or so? Ten+ is a bit mentally fatigueing and draining, not counting the going blind stuff.

Oh! Tanx.
