The bike has a name. Angharad, (from wikipedia) pronounced [a-ngha-rad, an-gharad], is a popular name in Celtic countries, particularly Wales, having a long association with Celtic royalty, history and myth. Angharad is also spelt as Anghared. From Welsh it translates to English: much loved one.

In February I was riding my bike in St. Petersburg and was hit by this guy. Thhhbbbt!
At the time of the accident he was on his phone and the first thing I heard him say was “Uhh I think I hit some guy on a bike and I’ll call you back” He did [...]
On April 12, 2009 (Easter) I became the owner of a new fixed gear bike, a GT Gutterball.
I had some alterations (look for the blue bits) from the stock design, new handlebars, changed the gearing, longer chain. Right now I’m running 53/16 gearing on both sides of the flip hub. One side is a single speed [...]

So I'm furiously packing and trying to remember ...
Over the US Thanksgiving Day weekend I finally had the opportunity to catch up on Lost. I've made it through seasons 4 & 5 and am now working on season 1, with 2-3 to follow. Present Theories: Jacob is the father trying to raise his child. A loose parallel of Christian and Jack. The Island is a prison: Jacob and "friend" are in the prison.

I finally made my way to Tampa Bay's water's edge to catch a sunrise. I liked it more than the sunsets... There felt more of an activity about at least with the birds and the dolphins. Pelicans and seagulls were swooping about and the dolphins were friskily feeding. Aside from a lone tug boat heading out to the Gulf of Mexico there was little human activity seen on the water.
