Cole's Notes - The Sunday Journalist

I imagine the box over the back wheel is the battery box - but you probabily could add a basket on top. I don't suppose a saddle bags would be a good idea - cutting down on the light exposure to the wheels. It comes prebuilt as shown for around $1299 or they offer conversion kits for your own Bike starting at $795.00 - Canadian. This is a Canadian company building these things. So the US folks will have to pay duty to have these in the sunny states. Not to mention - the NORCO bike is made in Canada too...

Acknowledgement of your dedication and hard work could find you being more emotionally overwhelmed than you're comfortable with. You may have to make a special effort to control your feelings. You've moved mountains to get where you are, dear Libra, and it's nice to be recognized! In the evening: Go out and celebrate. You deserve it! Right now, I'm building my 2006 Objectives for Gainful Employment right now ( Yes, I know 2006 objectives SHOULD be done before the year starts, but that's the way the Gainfull Emp...

The cartoon is from our continuing series of gag cartoons for the Buster McNutt humor column in AutoGraphic's Automotive Report publications. We figured that if an RV is a little "home away from home," why not bring a little of the yard too?
