My birthday is in February. Ever try to ride slicks on snow and ice?

That's right, just...I remember those "things" too. That's right, just call me GeezerMan, with a capital G. My memory of those things, and I won't call them food, was quite similar. I can remember with anticipation that my mom was going to be bring some home from the grocery store and my brothers and I couldn't wait to try them. I don't recall that she ever bought another package, because that "stuff" tasted like chocolate flavored cardboard. That's the most favorable description I can think of. They were so bad you had to wash them down with Tang!<br /><br />More interesting though was that at that time was when I was first discovering biking. I'd gotten a Schwinn Sting Ray for Christmas you couldn't keep me off of it, even in the winter. How funny that 40+ years later I still enjoy riding in the snow. Sure wish I still had that bike.<br /><br />"Grill Master"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15336507.post-68560108044945124202007-01-30T18:21:00.000-09:002007-01-30T18:21:00.000-09:00Space, Food, and Sticks.
