Tom –

Very much admire the efforts, both on the ride and the poem. ALWAYS
appreciate you keeping us apprised of your findings and a little variety in
the format is good for us all!

AND (I could bet either way) did you know yesterday was National Poetry Day?

(The “national” apparently refers to the UK but I still think it counts!)
