[Groop] Rufferto is in my car at all times

[Grossmann, Gary (DOR)]

Hey Tone!  (and everyone else!)
 
Yes, it is the Rapid-Eye knit cap from 1998.  I wear it with the cute
little Rufferto patch right up front.  
 
I cycle about 7 miles to the YMCA, do a little workout, shower & shave,
and then cycle another 3 miles to work.  Most of the time, The Long
Suffering Mrs. G. picks me up in the evenings because it's right on her
way and the timing works out.  But when she has PT for her shoulder
after work, I cycle home too.  It's especially importnat to have
Rufferto with me then because it is very dark and there is lots of
traffic.  
 
And Yes, I have "GROO" license plates on my car.  I think it costs an
extra $35 per year.   Who ended up with the Texas Groo plates?  We need
more Groopies with their state's Groo plates!

Gary,
            I do not carry a Rufferto talisman, but I also do not carry
any Groo icons with me either. Therefore I do not have any greater or
lesser chance of having a break down or accident on my bicycle when I
commute to work. Even though you say you bike to work most of the time,
it is a good idea to bring a Rufferto talisman like your Rufferto Cap.
It really sucks to get a flat tire on a bike when it is cold outside.
Regardless I commend you for cycling to work much of the time. :-)
            So what Rufferto Cap do you wear when riding your bike? Are
you referring to the Rufferto knit cap made by Rapid Eye Entertainment
in 1998?
            Also, this is a bit off-topic, but how far do you bike to
work? I bike to my job 5 miles each way just about every day. I only had
to be driven to work about half a dozen times last winter due to icy or
heavy snow conditions. Like the Long Suffering Mrs. G. my wife does most
(actually ALL) the driving. However, we do not have a "Groo car" as you
said. We just have a French-Canadian model of a Pontiac minivan, which
my wife named GiGi because of the French-connection. I know that is
weird... but look who she married. :-)
            When you say "the Groo car" do you actually have registered
"Groo" plates for it? I know you said you have one or two Groo license
plates... like PA, which is where I am living these days!
