  1. Battery powered radio is supposed to be one of those things everybody in earthquake prone California should have in our disaster preparedness kits, along with the flashlights, 3 day supply of water & food, and non-electric can opener.

Hope there's a window or two this week I can sneak in a pedal. But, more importantly, I hope the weather is nice for the upcoming Santa Cruz Mountain Bike Festival!
