Back in the USA

By Yokota Fritz


I'm back in the USA now after a whirlwind tour of Taiwan. My compatriots and I had an amazing trip -- I had no idea Isla Formosa has so much to offer. I knew I was really home after only 5 minutes in L.A. traffic when road raging idiot "TRNR TIM" in his white SUV got all aggressive on my cabbie, honking, yelling, and swerving into our lane threatening to hit us. What a tool.

I have more to write about my trip later, but first I'm catching up on what you all are saying in the blogosphere. Here are a few things that catch my eye:

I see plenty of surf board for bikes in Santa Cruz, CA, but I've never seen one quite like this.
