I wanted to email you, but I didn't see an email address on your blog site.<BR/><BR/>I'm writing to you because my stepbrother recently died of hypothermia on Douglas Island -- they think back in April or May. I was suprised that someone could die of hypothermia at that time of year, but then again, I"m from Texas. I did a google search for "die hypothermia douglas island" and your blog came up. Apparently you took a bike ride to Douglas Island once, and you were afraid of dying of hypothermia in Utah. <BR/>Anyway, I hadn't seen my stepbrother in over 25 years. He had schizophrenia, and had estranged himself from the family after he was diagnosed -- probably related to the paranoid aspects of his illness. Anyway, it crushes me to think of him dying of hypothermia. They think that he was camping there because they found a tent close by with his wallet. What can you tell me about Douglas Island...is it cold in April or May? He was found on the southern end of the island according to the newspaper article I read. Do people camp there a lot? Are there homeless people there?<BR/><BR/>I hope to hear from you because I'm trying to put his death in some sort of context. <BR/><BR/>Thanks.<BR/>Kelly (kchaves@chaveslaw.com)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-28448087774997222222007-06-01T00:39:00.000-06:002007-06-01T00:39:00.000-06:00Lessee, two bags on recumbent, one on seat, one u...Lessee, two bags on recumbent, one on seat, one under seat.<BR/><BR/>Under seat: Tools, tubes, pump, CO2, 10 dollars. <BR/><BR/>Behind seat: old stale snacks, shell, an assortment of gloves, small tube sunscreen, old altoid mint tin for IBU etc., Antelope Island pass, camera, GPS, loose change, and unlknown strange material in bottom, like crumbs, dirt and stuff only Gill Grissom can determine..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03384297725417340746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-66312635958857581992007-05-31T20:58:00.000-06:002007-05-31T20:58:00.000-06:00Bought a tube b/c I was told, in case I have a fla...Bought a tube b/c I was told, in case I have a flat, I could put the tube in the tubeless tire!?!<BR/><BR/>And I have to out myself b/c I own...eh..3 or 4 packs.

I purposely bought a new one with a smaller cargo area that forces me to consider everything that goes in it. Bars and gels in the top compartment, repair kit in the bottom compartment. I use my big one for commuting now...shoes, pants, shirt, lock, wash cloth, food, etc. It can get real heavy by the time I'm done loading it!Jeff Moserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13198489612535782394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-89958080568042955252007-05-31T09:21:00.000-06:002007-05-31T09:21:00.000-06:00Jill, Mr. Whiskers says hello! :)My husband is in ...Jill, Mr. Whiskers says hello! :)<BR/>My husband is in the Army, so the Physical Therapists are used to crazy people.
