At the beginning of the month, my boss had the crazy idea to make me park my car and find ways around town.

That's how our series, Putting It In Park was born.

Monday morning, I called on him to help me out. Dan agreed to come and pick me and Arnell Hamilton up and drive us to work.

Day 7 of Putting It In Park is riding with the boss.

Dan Cates drives a huge Dodge Diesel truck and easily spends about $150 bucks to fill his 30 gallon tank.

He believes some of my ideas so far are good, others are a little "extreme." (Could he be talking about roller skating Friday?)

I told him that I've been getting positive feedback and some ideas from you. From biking to a helium-balloon lawn chair, viewers come up with a variety of ideas.

Hands down, the most popular (and practical) suggestion is biking.

I own a mountain bike and took it to Pathworks Bicycles in Mobile for a tune-up. I got also got some lessons on how to ride on the road.

After my crash course, I'm ready.

On Tuesday, we ride!




OOPS, Misprint it should have been It would be like a fox and hounds chase instead of I’LL. Got to learn to proof read some day.

Cool your jets, Carl, you would have a heart attack riding your bike that far to join the bike ride.

The politicians do not need a boat, they are full of hot air so they can just float back home.

Don’t suppose we could get the airlines to cancel the return trip part of their tickets do you ? And see if they would like to do like tiffany and save energy by rowing back across the Atlantic to home.

Why didn’t Tiffany get to go to London and all the other scheduled stops with our illustrious local politicians?

Uncle Henry sent out a warning this morning to all innocent bystanders that Tiffany would be on the road today on her bike!  Oh the humanity.... lol
