<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Folks! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was going to write another consolidated message,
but then I had a Grooism episode that I had to pass on. I may get to
the other message, but you know how it goes: So many pointless messages to
write, so little time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway, very occasionally I buy a big stack of Groo
comics for cheap on ebay because my local comic shop will always buy them
because he says he can always sell them. Yesterday I got the notice to pick
them up at the post office, so today I hopped on my bicycle during lunch hour to
cycle the 5 miles or so over to the P.O. When I came out with all my Groos
in tow, my back tire was, of course, flat. I guess I should ahve had
my Rufferto magnet with me as an anti-Groo effect talisman. But that's not
the real Grooism. That came later. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Fortunately, to paraphrase a line from the Princess
Bride, my tire was only mostly flat, not completely flat, so I slowly limped
back to my office on the bicycle. (It was still a little faster than walking)
Not content to leave bad enough alone, I stopped at a gas station to see
if the mostly flat tire would hold air at least long enough to get me back to
work. But being a complete Groo-Brain, I put too much air in and
"POP!!!" Now the tire was completely dead.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I continued on, Grooishly riding the bicycle,
even slower now, before finally getting back to work, very late of course.
One of the advantages of having a 20 year old, 28 lb., steel everything bicycle
is that you can abuse the heck out of it without doing any real damage.
It's the perfect bicycle for a Groo fan. Or at least this Groo
fan.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope everyone's day went better than mine.
What day is it anyway? I remember getting all excited about the New Groo
Pre-Announcement and then everything is a blur for a while.
Hmmm.</FONT></DIV>
