And is @

Hey, Bill, thanks for remembering me. It's true I've kind of fallen off the face of the cycling earth. I'm working some insane hours (typically 70-75 hrs/wk as a rural route driver) and somehow managing to stay sane. I doubt I've cycled more than 50 miles this year, much less spent any time online with my cycling friends. But in my old RHD Subaru wagon (bought it just when I started with USPS) I've done over 20,000, so that counts for something? With the mileage allowance, that car has paid for itself, fuel, tires, and all its repairs twice over this year. And the kind of overtime you rake in when you're doing 70+ hrs/wk is substantial. So, at this point, I love my job, if just for mercenary reasons.
I have to admit, it's also kinda fun sometimes too, especially when the weather is nice.
Yes, it's a RHD Subie, made in Lafayette, IN
