J&A in Afghanistan
Recently posted on the Jack & Adam's Facebook page is this picture of Josiah Coder wearing his J&A t-shirt at his Combat Out-Post in Afghanistan.
Josiah writes: "Me riding the only bike on our Combat Out-Post in Afghanistan. I was stationed in a remote area with very little re-supply. Our only spin bike really helped me keep my legs strong for the long walks up and down the mountains. Over my left shoulder you can see the bullet holes from our recent fire fights."
Thanks, Josiah!

My First Visit to the Shop
Today mom and I drove down to the shop for my first visit. On the way down she assured me I'd meet a lot of new friends and would see some cool things. I was a little skeptical at first, thinking this was a devious way of convincing me to go on her adventures with her.
As we walked in the door we were welcomed by a friendly staff who all seemed excited to see me. Not only was the staff friendly, the customers were running over to say hello also. I felt like a rock star.
I was happy to see the bike shop has more bikes than our garage. I'd been getting a little worried about my parent's bike collection. I assume there will come a day when they leave me behind to hop on one of those two wheeled contraptions.
Since I don't like being left behind I asked Thomas to measure me for one of the bikes. Unfortunately, my diaper makes it impossible to get an accurate stand over height measurement. I'll have to wait until I'm potty trained for a correct measurement, I've put that on my to-do list for my second birthday.
I told Drew I like the new shop jersey and asked when we'd be getting one in my size. Apparently there is no such thing as an infant tri-top. I'm working on my get-rich-quick plan to design one. With all the new babies at the shop I'm sure they'd be a hot item.
The mechanics were very nice although none of them wanted to hold me. Mom said that was okay since they all had dirty hands from working so hard on all the bikes. Thankfully the other members of the staff were nice enough to give me some attention.
I liked the shop a lot, I think I'll go back. I hear the Jack guy is really nice too. I'm looking forward to meeting him very soon.
