It sounds like everyone is taking care of you. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. I told you that is how you are and I admire that. I actually had this weird feeling over the weekend that your bike got or would get stolen. I was creeped out when I read the blog that it actually happened. I had this feeling to call you to tell you to lock it up. Well you certainly are getting help and good publicity from this…hmmmm…maybe they will make a movie out of this or you could write a book and put your pictures in it ?????
I think you will be on David Letterman or Goodmorning America

If you are travelling counter clockwise then you will go through Parrsboro, my home town. Stop into Home Hardware and ask about a trip with Randy. Tell them I sent you. Great prices on bikes.lol.Randy will be one of many with whom interests you both share. The "Glooscap Trail" is vast and awesome. Hope you have loads of time!!

Hi Bob, I'm not sure if you are still in Amherst, but if you are, please contact me. I see lots of offerings of assistance, and I would like to add ours. I represent DeMolay Atlantic Canada, an international boys youth group, and I am based in Moncton, not far away from Amherst. My conterpart in Vermont sent me an e-mail asking if we could offer you a bit of assistance. When I asked a couple of the boys what they thought, they decided we should offer to assist. In the current climate, of young people being tarred with the same brush of a few, such as the ones possibly involved in your current dilema, it's nice to know there are still young men out there willing to streach out their hand to help and support their fellowmen in times of need. You can reach me via e-mail, bill.millett@demolay.nbmf.org and you can check out the web site at http://demolay.nbmf.org you will also find links there to connect to the Vermont and the International web site. I hope, once this bump in the road is cleared up, the rest of your travels are smooth rolling.

Regards,
Bill Millett

ALICES RESTAURANT

If just one newspaper writes and article, well you think "Thanks"

If 2 newspapers do it,2 articles, you may "think this is good news"

And if 4 newpspers do it you may think "this is a sign."

And if Letterman sees you,well you
may think it's a movement.And it is

Funny, last week, the question came up in my mind, too: what does Bob do with his stuff when he has to go indoors? Well, I figured, he probably has a small bag with his wallet and papers in it that he takes with him, and maybe the camera too. And he probably sits where he can keep an eye on his bike. Next thing you know I am reading about the theft. What a blow.
I was thinking it's a good thing you didn't bring a computer with you because that would have been stolen too. Then I realized that if you'd had a computer with a wi-fi connection you wouldn't have needed to go into the library in the first place. Keep blogging. Send a link to Kellogg's corn flakes.
