I suppose. Then Bill got glad for the respite, taking three
days off in a row. Maybe I'm more of a slavedriver than I
thought.

If one isn't in a hurry, these roads can be charming.

At times idyllic even.

There's a spring in the handle that went. One would have to
take the handle apart, install a replacement spring (after
finding one), and then fuse the handle back. Probably not
worth the trouble. Sad - where will I find another bag with
orange wheels?

Unagi isn't the greatest tasting fish anyhow.
