I sooo want this for Christmas
A French guy named Jean-Yves Blondeau has created a plastic suit equipped with 31 wheels which allows him to roll down streets at speeds up to 60 miles per hour while switching positions at any time. It’s like break dancing, plus roller blading plus street luge. Very groovoi!

LOL…that reminds of something Wile E. Coyote would invent to catch roadrunner with (minus the rockets of course). God I hope these don’t become popular, or I will fear for my life every time I step outside!

Hmm. Maybe that explains the “bump” under my left wheels as I was barreling down the 405 to the airport last week…
Comment to an earlier blog re: ring sizing (I am so badly in blebt that I am commenting on entries where comments are closed). Many if not most rings can be re-sized up. It’s really not a major procedure, though I would not buy a ring with a complex setting unless the jeweler advises that they can re-size. But this is a good reason to get to know a good jewelry repair shop. Take all your stuff in to them for polishing and minor setting work – cost is a pittance but they will become your best friends!
