Berkeley

is a cool guy. A bit rough looking around the edges, but with an engaging (though crookedly toothed) smile. We chatted for a bit about this and that. He learned to ride a bike when he was in Vietnam (did two tours). Right now, his preference is to ride windy country roads where he can really "feel" his bike hugging the turns.

When I asked him if he had an email address so I could send him a copy of this shot, he just looked at me as if I were crazy and said "I don't do that stuff." Self-evident truths...

(ps: thanks so much for the really nice comments yesterday! :))
