2 things you cannot live without:

The Google & smoked salmon

If you were stranded on a desert island, what would you bring?

A tricky question for sure, as it implies that I have the opportunity to choose an item to bring with me prior to being stranded. If this was the case, I would surely bring a GPS-enabled, solar powered motor boat equipped with a battery-powered fan and sails for low-wind days. Before leaving on any trip on which I risk being stranded on a desert island, I would be sure to renew my membership to the American Society of Dowsers and get a free dowsing stick for finding water.

If a person whom you know, but is not your best friend, was going to be attacked by a bear, would you intervene to stop the bear? The friend won't be killed, but may be paralyzed or may suffer only minor injuries, it is impossible to predict. The consequence of intervening is that it would rain where ever you are for the rest of your life. Do you stop the bear and deal with the rain, or let the cards fall where they may with the friend?

I would review this movie for a few tips and make a decision based on the size and strength of the bear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvrvxmZ0jVg

What is your biggest fear?

No bike trails anywhere

If you had 1 million dollars, what would you do?

Go on as many sweet bike vacations as possible with my friends until the money is gone.
