[Woodcarver] for bikers past and present

[cynda douglas]

The bikes are still steadily going by.  I was short on zeros when reporting 
numbers.  I haven't heard a count yet, but it is probably in the usual 4 to 
500,000 bikes in the neighborhood.  7 have now been killed, which is up I 
believe, from other years.  But this seems like more bikes than the  2002 
big celebration and they figured 650,000 then!
Apparently this information is Ok, since it appears that a lot of carvers 
are also present or past bikers.  Have been meeting some really interesting 
people.  There was a good looking couple in the dr.'s office yesterday from 
Missouri.  She was a slim , tall attractive blonde and he was a huge man. 
By huge, I don't mean fat but  shaved head, tall, huge arms, but he had a 
trimmed mustache and beard, (unusual) very good looking, and very friendly. 
He's someone I'd sure want on my side, hehe.  He said bikers can hardly get 
into Sturgis at all, and have a long wait on the highway.  A couple of the 
deaths were headons in our winding canyons, and three by colliding with 
deer.  Lots and lots of broken legs, road rash, etc.  So much for rally 
news.  OK, you were warned in my subject line, hehe.
