    I got a t-shirt with 'lessbounce.com' written on it. Real support for real women apparently. Google it for a quick fix if that's your thang.

    My Macbook came with a little Apple backback to carry it in. It matches a black one I had about 10 years ago from Orange. These things are the mutts nuts; you can fold them in your pocket or stuff them under your saddle in case you need them, carry stuff, use them as wipes if you get oil on you-all sorts. Really useful.
