those neighbors who were Seattle kids in the 50's and 60's would
even begin to understand the weird spectacle as Crazy Old Man Gould
thundered (Ok, wobbled) around the corner with a "hydro" in tow.

Used to do the bike thing, although living on the East Coast it was a
three speed Raleigh - used. Eventually, worked up to a 10 speed
"French" bike - I think it was a Motobecane.

We used to race skiffs in the harbor in Marblehead in the spring and
fall when there weren't as many boats. Then there were the lobster
boat races on occasion - usually the result of a bet placed at the VFW
hall. :)
