Gary and Handmade Bike Bags<\/a>\"\"<\/a>[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XaI5IRuS2aE[\/youtube]\n

Sometimes I see something creative and inspiring and I have to talk to the person who made it, wore it, put it out there for us. And people are so kind about sharing why…how….. Like Gary, when he told me about his beautiful handmade bike bags.<\/a><\/p>\n

This is Gary smiling in front of the Delano McDonald’s, where the 21st c. cowboys hang out.<\/p><\/div>\n

And I think I have sometimes called Gary homeless, just to identify, but Gary isn’t homeless at all. \u00a0Because Gary knows more than anyone that this land was made for you and me and he.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gary’s outlook on life seemed like a great way to start Monday morning. And, since the days are getting shorter, you might see him. \u00a0He’ll be heading from Jackson Hole back down south and maybe hangin’ for a while in Wichita. So, I wanted to alert you to look for him.<\/p>\n

We may have met him before and we’ll certainly meet him again. He is a pleasure…<\/span><\/p>\n[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=31x1hYntyKk[\/youtube]\n

And, given all the negative stuff we see about our country sometimes, I feel his outlook is refreshing. Gary takes the things I complicate, and makes me realize how complicated we can make our lives.<\/p>\n

I would expect that riding on a bike across the countryside throughout the year is a pretty good way to see how beautiful America really is.<\/span> Here is Gary, whittling it down to the essence…<\/p>\n
