Kat-- you may have nailed one of my reasons for NOT getting one. They might think I'm THAT kind of girl. (And, of course, I am, but only here inside my own head).

But I'm close...very, very close. It'll be the leathers that do it, though, don't you think? Instead of the bike?

by the way, Kat -- excellent column this a.m. in our paper. (We'll email it to you out there who don't get the Star-Tribune.It was about various forms of disrespect for the flag.) The thing that galls me is seeing these bedsheet sized American flags flapping night and day over the autopark or in Walmart's parking lot or whatever, through rain and shine and wind and night and day and all kinds of ick. I mean, I was a GIRL SCOUT, for heaven's sake. We were trained that the first rule of flag etiquette is to bring it in out of the weather and to fold it up at sunset. And these merchants think it's just the BEST commercial drawing card. (Don't get me started. My soapbox will start creaking!)
