With Howard, I was wondering if moving the handlebars was a means of propulsion. After looking at the bike and your great-grandfather, the cow was the next thing I noticed. It does have a look of slight alarm.<br><br />Your posts are always so full, Brett. I thoroughly enjoy them.

I’m sure I commented on it when you posted originally, and I thought others had too, but apparently lots of people’s comments got eaten by Blogger; how frustrating! Anyway, I have always loved Heath Robinson so it was a pleasure to see him back on your page!Little Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862657943846727987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599702957095945938.post-4746671725836103952011-05-15T18:49:51.022+12:002011-05-15T18:49:51.022+12:00My keen interest for the esoteric and irrelevant a...My keen interest for the esoteric and irrelevant always finds satisfaction with your posts - and this is certainly no exception.
