OT: Anniversary, a pastry and a bike.
Several weeks ago I sold one of my last bikes to a nice guy who was an enthusiastic roadie newby and quite excited to have a nice bike. During our conversations I found he was the pastry chef for a local fine dining restaurant.

Yesterday was my 38th wedding anniversary so I booked a dinner at my new friends restaurant where we had a very fine meal that lasted several hours. Truly a very nice time.

As the end drew near the waitress unexpectedly presented a “desert plate prepared by our pastry chef for you. Happy anniversary!” Wonderful.

Nice story.
I hope you're keeping a bike?
Was this a restaurant in Spokane?
Thanks,

It does look like a clown rodeo bike.
I assume the one he received had some trued wheels and a nice leather saddle.
