Comments on: An Unusually Awesome Problem http://www.fatcyclist.com/2015/08/03/an-unusually-awesome-problem/ It's like reality TV. Except it's real. And there's no TV.

He asked me to announce that he will send an autographed photo to whomever donates between now and $100,000 on FC's page. If you make a donation and want his autograph, tell him via Twitter. https://twitter.com/leroys_dog/status/626800124656795648 I made him promise to autograph his picture. I don't want another letter like the one he got last summer from Taylor Swift's lawyers. (Nota Bene -- FC has not suggested this and is in no way responsible for my dog or his actions. That ought to be a relief.) My dog is concerned that yet another super bike won’t get FC to $100,000.

(Wipes sweat from forehead...) Being the king of procrastination and occasional total space cadet.

Thanks for the extra time Fatty! Whew! (Wipes sweat from forehead…)
