No, really -- Take the poll.

Folks, folks, folks -- I know there are a good number of you reading Velophoria, and yet only three of you have answered the poll. Now, I appreciate everyone stopping by just to read. But I appreciate even more those who take a moment to pitch in to the conversation.

If you like what you've read here, and stop by occasionally (or more than occasionally), all I ask in return is a tiny bit of interactivity: Just click one answer on the poll.

It'll take you less than 10 seconds. It's fun to find out what other like-minded folk are thinking. I'll do a post about the results, if we get enough answers to merit it.

Okay, I'm off my soap-box. Thanks.

Take the Poll!

I know the topic isn't the freshest news by now, but I'm certainly still thinking about it, and I really want to know what you think. My readers' worldview is important to me.

It's in the upper part of the right-hand column. It takes one click.

Oh, yeah: Happy new year!! I'm off to ride the rollers, because it's been in the single digits most of the day and most of the roads are ice and snow. Kind of hard when the sun is blasting; I have to remind myself once an hour, "Just because the sun is out doesn't mean I can ride!" Almost every day, I have this moment where I can feel spring, way off in the distance... but coming. It's like it's here for a moment, laid over the ice and snow: A clear black ribbon of road, green everywhere, and a warm breeze, whispering, "Come ride for hours!"
