I’m being plagued again. Plagued by indecision and curiosity, by “what ifs” and “I wonders.”
I say “again,” because it’s happened before. Anyone who’s ridden bikes with suspension is probably familiar with the sensation. You know, you’re just riding along and a voice appears in your head, “hey, you know you could use a bit more…

This poisoned little character, who seems to taste slightly aniseedy, joins the Cola Bottle in being an out-of-place…
Hello there!
