So winter storm not although predictions for tomorrow are for a hard cold rain. We all know that at this latitude at this time of year that sort of thing can in a hurry end up looking like the above photo.
We did not participate in the municipal leaf pick up this year, for the first time since we moved out here and discovered the service. Times have finally changed enough to force the city to cancel the pick up after this year. So we missed the last big pile of leaves. As an aside here the reason why we missed is that we were scheduled first this year and as we know favorable growing conditions this year led to the trees being late to drop their leaves. Pick up was due on Wednesday when on Monday we looked at our trees and noticed that almost no leaves had fallen.
That is no longer true and there are some people who have accumulated big piles of leaves.
Or something like that.
I too took a cruise through my photo folders and discovered that I also have a TRAM 2003 folder. I am pretty sure Bob is in there. Probably before the month is over I will post some of those provided I can find any that are not too deeply duplicative of the photos already posted by staff.

I don't think I have anything from 2003, though I haven't looked through some really old folders. It's a shame, because there are a few good stories from that year -- especially that day riding into St. Peter. And the following day, leaving it. Some good hills that ride, too. In and out of the Minnesota River Valley. And I think there was some wildberry pie.
That first photo makes me wince. You know it's close, but I just don't want to believe it.
Santini, are you referring to the bitches that stole our men?! That was SO funny (and true).
And for sure there was pie the evening you slept with your bike (actually really close to it) in that small cabin in some small town. Staff and I (and probably others) went out for dinner and pie for you.
BDE -- The bitches that stole our men story is a favorite of mine.
