crop circle


Don't know who made it, how they made it or why they made it, but you have to admit it is a pretty nice piece of art. Grand yet intricate work. I learned of the story from reading the 'strange but true' stories on my very own http://fat-tire.net/ site. Newz Hobbys then strange but true.
Also learned of the sixteen year old girl who ages about one month per every two years. The story was slated to be aired on twenty twenty, then Michael Jackson died, and the so did the story.

It would have been a nice morning for a bike ride. Overcast and RELATIVELY cool for here, but I am irrigating this morning and still have to run out to chandler for a few chores on the rental house.

Today is also the one year anniversary of when my Mesa GSX was stolen. No mercy for bike thieves. http://fat-tire.net/trailviewer/stolenBikes.aspx click on the bike to see the reward.

Venu and I have plans to go to Prescott later. Should be nice and cool up there. Wish we could take the bikes.

Stolen Bikes, Bike Pedia, and The stolen bicycle registry


I added a section to fat-tire.net to display stolen bikes. http://fat-tire.net/trailviewer/stolenBikes.aspx
I don't know if it will drive traffic, but if it helps recover one bike it was more than worth the effort.
Since I ask for the seriel numbers durning registration, they are there when you need them. All you need to do to mark your registered bike as stolen is click the 'report stolen' tab - select stolen and click the submit button. http://fat-tire.net/Bike-Riders/bikes.aspx
it will then display for all to see on the stolen bikes page.

The bike pedia link is there for all bikes, so anyone can see what the bike looks like. I just sent the parameters to bike pedia and open their page. If they have your bike in their database, you can see it. I also have stored a personal url for each bike. So, click on the make and you see the actual bike. Click on the make and see the bike pedia photo and stats on the bike.

I set my url to the stolenbicycleregistry. My bike was stolen nearly a year ago. Go to the web site if you are interested in any of the details.
