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. </span></font><font size=2 face=Wingdings><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

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
