Buster and the Bamboo Bike

Here is the very cute dog whose name was almost "Beauregard Bugleboy, Man's Best Friend" ala Pogo. We call him Buster, otherwise known as "Mr. Friendly":


In other news (this is a non-sequitarian site, reader beware), having nothing at all to do with Buster:

Friends and Neighbors, this will blow your socks right off your feet! It's a bike frame made out of bamboo! See http://www.calfeedesign.com/pages/bamboolarge.php.

Further, if you google "bamboo bike," you will see references to do-it-yourselfer's building bamboo bike frames! I am so proud of these folks!

We have a patch of bamboo - I was thinking about bamboo flutes, but maybe I will have to plant more bamboo and expand my thinking.

Vera is already way ahead of me: What about a bamboo frame dog house?

That bamboo bike is beautiful.

On "The Goon Show," the great old British radio comedy show, a Chinese guy plays a bamboo saxophone. I was surprised to find out that there really are bamboo saxophones. I found out about them on a web page about unusual musical instruments.

If you know how, you can get bamboo shoots for stir-frying...I never have learned what part of the plant is the "shoot."
