The Freak Show

Hunting and shooting are hard enough without my favorite forum being all jacked up!

I'm putting together an urban commuter bike for my girlfriend. I have a really cool vintage Raleigh that hasn't been on the road in years. The tires are old dried up gum-walls. They are labeled 28 x 1 5/8 x 1 1/2. Can a 28 x 1 5/8 x 1 1/4 fit on that rim? Are there any other sizes that work on that rim? Is there a metric equivalent?

Thanks for your help.

I am considering getting a hedgehog. I need it to guard my room when I'm not there. I am looking for a name that will make the hedgehog feel good about itself, and yet still strike fear into anyone thinking of messing with my shiz.

I have always been able to rely on the YA community to give me good solid advice without any crazy or stupid answers. In fact, that has NEVER happened! WOW! AMAZING!

So...

What should I name it?

I was injured in Iraq, and I now qualify for 30% military disability. I was wondering if any of you have experience with the VA benefits for dependents. I was wondering if there is any way this would help my kids, like maybe with college tuition assistance.

I am going to schedule an appointment with the VA office, but I have found it helps a lot to know what you want before you show up. It is such a complicated system that it is hard to pin down what the actual benefits are, and who qualifies.
