SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!
What's this? Monty Coon, Bike Friday tech and our Queen Voice's personal hot water bottle in these chilly Eugene climes, opened a suitcase to discover ... a great big stonkin' bar of Hershey's chocolate with a note: TO HELP YOU AS YOU WORK.
What is the world coming to?
Its senses, clearly. 'Treating' works on Pavlovian dogs and chimps, it's only natural that it should work on poor chocolate starved Bike Friday mechanics like Monty.
Now before there's a cry from more-ethical-than-thou vigilantes against bribery, Monty informs us that ALL bikes got extra TLC that day.
'I felt a kind of magic that day, like my safety goggles were rose colored,' said Monty. 'I found myself talking lovingly to all the bikes that went through my station, and I think they heard.'
Now if anyone wants to drop some Paul Newman's own Honey Mustard birdseed in my tray I can categorically state that it will be taken very seriously - I will vow not to poop in the instep of your Keens sandals, at least not this week ...
