Eric Smith Requests: NO MORE PICTURES OF BAMBOO BIKES

Sometimes, you find yourself a few hundred pages into a book and you suddenly realize that the book isn't worth reading. Sadly, you've already invested too much time into the endeavor and you decide to complete the task come hell or high water. It becomes a matter of pride, honor, stubbornness and stupidity. The Blog thought yesterday would be the final installment of NAHBS pics, but after coming so far and having only a handful of pics left, it was through clenched teeth and bloodshot eyes that the final batch of NAHBS pics were vomited onto today's blog post like yesterday's gravy biscuit in the Bojangle's parking lot. In other exciting Hawley news, it appears shipping department scofflaw and devoted family man Brad (last name withheld) is preparing to join the ranks of that special breed of maniacs called bicycle commuters. The Blog espied a brand new Soma Smoothie (FRAM5058) in the stand being assembled at lunch. A little Ritchey here, a bit of Sram there. Can't wait to see how B's first road ride turns out. Kudos young master Brad!
